Sea of Lightning Animated Short
Sea of Lightning is my senior thesis film from Ringling College of Art and Design. My specialties are in 3D modeling, character animation, and compositing. I am responsible for all aspects of the film
This animated short tells the story of a hunting vehicle and an alien storm beast Mother protecting her nest of eggs. Inspired by the horrors of ivory trafficking and the ongoing climate crisis, I aimed to raise awareness about endangered animals, the illegal ivory trade, and the impact of extreme weather on our biosphere.
Each design underwent multiple iterations, starting with modeling in Maya and detailed sculpting in ZBrush. The assets were then rigged and animated in Maya, with final compositing completed in Nuke to bring all elements together seamlessly.
