STARBORN
Starborn is short animated film I worked on as both a prop designer and layout artist. It's a story set in a city that personifies our very own solar system. The main character is a young star girl that was born with uncontrollable powers who needs the help of Earth and the other planetary goddesses to learn to control them.
I was first brought on as a prop designer. My first assignment was helping to design chairs that would represent both the characters and the cultures they were based on.
Then I was allowed the creative freedom to create props from scratch. The goal was to design things that could potentially fill the council room. I explored both decoration and function while brainstorming for these props, and you can see that a number of them made it into the final film.
Once we moved into production, I was assigned to layouts and assets. Learning to match the style of the project was definitely a challenge but I also learned a lot of new rendering and brush techniques.
