Bringing a character from a concept into a moving world is always one of my favorite parts of the process.
For Tul8te’s latest project, I had the chance to take Zeyna’s original concept and develop it into a complete 3D visual language — carrying that direction through the characters, assets, animation and final shots.
From Tul8te and his girl, to the mask and the car, a big part of the process was finding the balance between preserving the identity and feeling of the original concept while building a world that could actually live, move and perform on screen.
Really grateful to have worked closely with Shimo on this one. Beyond leading the comositing and visual ex*****on, he brought a lot to the table through his visual direction and attention to detail, pushing many of the smaller choices that helped shape the final look and feel of the piece.
From the first character explorations and 3D development, through animation, compositing and the final keyframes — this one was a proper team effort, and I’m really proud of where we landed.
