The self-directed project that I’m creating is based on an original Steampunk themed video game about a criminal, who is locked away in solitary confinement for life, escaping his cell through a mysterious portal which conveniently opened up behind him, dragging the criminal and his chair that he is chained to, into a world of magic, which grants mechanical beings and players that are trapped within the game, different elemental magic.
The main goal for this project is to create a concept trailer for the Steampunk game as if it was previewing the beginning of a complete series that mixes 2D and 3D elements of animation.
The main piece of software that I will be using for this project will be Blender. Characters will be drawn in 2D animation while different backgrounds will be created in 3D, eventually becoming a 2D background.
