This movie was more challenging given the very small budget (around 2millions £ and 25 people) but we did try to make the layout work as best as we can in the time given to us. 

​

For this movie I was in charge of creating the scenes and often a mock-up modelling and camera so the lead layout artist could start the animation previs. I would follow his directives concerning the shots and angles he was thinking about and create an environment in which he could start working and finalising the cameras.

​

My other task was more of a technical aspect, such as cleaning all unecessary elements, assets and optimizing the heaviness of the scene so the animators could work smoothly. 

​

Given our very small team I also ended up being the main Set Dressing artist. I was in charge of knowing everything, every asset, every piece of environment was supposed to be and placing them together so I could create a somewhat believable environment (We didn't have the budget for a crowd artist or for doing this full time which was another problem to tackle). We were working without clear reference (no art department and no art director) so it was a bit challenging sometimes.

​

I learnt a lot for this production and I sometimes regret our lack of budget because I do think we had a good team capable of doing great things !
