Hi there. We are a team of 10 3D visual art students and together with 4 sound designers and 3 musicians we created this animated short of a clumsy dinosaur with an unusual ambition. Including concept phase, production and pre production this project took us 21 working weeks to finish. Enjoy the video and the art dump below it. Let us know what you think!

Pre Production
The pre production phase was all about coming up with a story. Once we knew we want to shoot a dinosaur to the moon that ultimately caused a meteor crashing onto earth and extinguishing all dinosaurs, we started iterating on the character model and environment.
Production
During Production we rigged and animated the character and started populating the world with hand painted assets.
Tech
While part of the team was animating and creating assets, the tech department spent the time rigging the character.
