In our Synoptic project, our team collaboratively created the animated trailer "Zoned Out." Using software such as Cinema 4D, Blender, Photoshop, and After Effects. I proposed the story idea, and together we planned the storyboard and animatic.

The story follows an office worker who must escape a dangerous situation he finds himself in due to being distracted on his during his commute. Our team's effective teamwork and communication kept the project on schedule. Our sound designer henry created the sound effects a theme song which i believe was very effective for a younger audience. Overall, we believe the final animated trailer was successful in conveying the dangers of distraction.

Our strengths as a team included  planning and communication. We communicated openly, exchanging ideas and providing constructive feedback, allowing us to adapt and overcome challenges promptly.

​

If we had more time i would of liked to have done more animation as a lot of the scenes in our film uses motion capture data.

the skills that i learnt during this project include;

-planning

-rigging

-facial rigging using shape keys

-animation

-scene creation

-rendering

-how to troubleshoot issues

-teamwork

doing this project has inspired me to start to creating more of my own animations and has given me confidence in understanding the pipeline.

Overall, i really enjoyed the project i felt our team demonstrated strong collaboration throughout the creation of the "Zoned Out" trailer and I'm pleased with the result.
