Student Short Animated Film by Puppet Rebellion

Ship Happens

Ship Happens is my senior year team animation studio short at Texas
A&M University. The original concept, pitch, and storyboards were mine, while my talented team collaborated with the majority of the technical tasks. I was the look dev artist of the masts and sails and assisted with the lighting and rendering using Pixar RenderMan and Nuke.
