Director/Manager - Crossing

In the beginning of third year I created the pitch for a fantasy drama show called Crossing. Inpsired by the visual style of Arcane and themes from shows like Frieren and Ted Lasso. My pitch was greenlit and I formed a team of 12 other students to carry out my vision as Director and Project Manager.

I studied studio Fortiche’s pipeline and applied it to my own project and involved myself with every aspect of the pipeline. Creating character designs, storyboards, fully creating 2 of the 4 main character models, painting backgrounds, projecting the backgrounds onto 3D surfaces, and animating.

Scene 1 - Crossing

The project was unfinished because the scope was too large but the goal was always to learn about the processand this project taught us so much. We polished some of the scenes close to a finished level and they looked great for what was the first time producing work in this style for most of my team.
