In Collaboration with Alex Chen, Joseph Zhang, Ethan Van Wijk, and Yang Xiang
Corvus Ex Machina is about a vengeful enforcer named Adriel who hunts down those responsible for his sister’s murder. As he hunts down her killers, his past and present collide in a fragmented odyssey of revenge, loss, and redemption.
For this capstone film, I served as an art director, storyboard and animatic, lead texture, and character concept artist.
This project was guided by the research question :
"Based on Fortiche Productions' approach in Arcane, how can the application of 2D production techniques within a 3D animation pipeline enhance visual storytelling, specifically through character design, composition, mood through colour, camera angles, and nonverbal expression? Furthermore, how can similar methods be adapted for our film to achieve a distinct visual style?”
