TECHNICAL EXECUTION

After rendering my footage from C4D, I take it into After Effects and add effects that make it feel more cinematic. I also added additional animations to create more of an atmosphere.

For this thesis, I attempted for the first time to create a character rig in C4D. I was able to accomplish this by using splines. I also created an expressive eye rig.
