We are animation honours students working on our 3D short film. This is a production diary documenting the pre-production, production and post-production of our studio practice. Karen will be focusing on the modelling of characters and environments while Matthew will be concentrating on the animation part. Our film idea is based on an interesting take on our current internet culture.
Synopsis
A man bored with his office job and lack of a social life, decides to join Virtual Life, an online community where users control a character through a virtual existence. Users are able to meet and socialize with other characters from all over the world, all simulated inside a virtual city. There he meets an attractive female avatar, and strikes up an internet romance, while never having to leave his computer. All is going well, until they reveal their true identity and discover they are actually work colleagues sitting in directly opposite cubicles.
