"Disordered Dance-Off"
3D Animated Short
Malcolm confidently steps on stage at the dance competition, ready to take the audience by storm with his hip-hop moves. However, his music keeps skipping, and he is forced to hilariously play along as Norman the DJ looks on in amusement.
This project was created as the final short film for an advanced 3D course. I fully animated this project in Maya 2018 and rendered it with Arnold. I also created the poster design with Photoshop. Sound effects and music added with After Effects.
