The circle of life shown through a hummingbird in this vibrant paper world.

This was my second short film to be completed as a part of Texas A&M's vertical studio course. As a part of a team of 6, I got to continue honing my skills in Unreal Engine and lighting, while also taking on new aspects like effects in Houdini and compositing in Nuke. Effects I worked on include the hummingbird birth and the flower growing.


Lighting and Compositing Breakdown. The first shot heavily utilizes compositing to draw the viewer's eye to the bird nest. It was a fun challenge to convey the passage of time in the end primarily through lighting and compositing.
