LUNA
Animated Short
2022
My first animated short film: LUNA. In 2022 I created a unique short film with a study colleague. It is the story about a girl building confidence, told through metaphors of maritime environment. We had the honor of screening our film at Filmfestival im Kleinen Theater and JuFiFe 2024.

MAIN TASK
Concept | Modeling | Rigging | Animation
TOOLS
Cinema4D | Redshift | Substance Painter
Creating the girl Luna
Luna’s design was inspired by Coraline and Six from “Little Nightmares”. Her unique trait was her voluminous pink hair.
Modeling, Rigging and Animation done in Cinema4D.
Jellyfish
The Rig of the jellyfish was very unique, using proxy objects and cloth simulation for the swimming muscle and tentacles.
Animation also demanded researching anatomy and looking at reference videos.
Creatures
The whale was brought to life using a simple Rig with gravity simulation and additive drag for the back fins. A similar approach was used for the eel.
The fish school was created using a particle system following a spline, and the fish were animated using a swim cycle .
