Portal 001

For my first class in animation at West Georgia I was tasked with creating a "Work Bench", or crafting space. The parameters of the assignment were to have at least three hero assets, eight background assets, and three perspective shots. For my project I decided to do a portal being built within the confines of a rogue scientists secret lab (aka his basement). I had a lot of fun with this project, particularly in environment development, camera setting and the lighting.

Narrative: With a stockpile of scrap parts, stolen materials, and home office supplies the scientist, Leonard Callon, hopes to finish his project "Portal 001". His life's work had been dubbed by the scientific community as, "too dangerous to be continued". Despite the rejection he would not fail to complete his work, no matter what.
