What?
A time traveler goes back 2 weeks to stop himself from going to Cynthia’s new years party. Unfortunately, he brings his cat along and forgets to let him back into the machine when he returns to the present. The cat grabs onto the machine last second, becomes radioactive, and ends up in ancient Egypt. What the time traveler finds when he returns to the present is pretty messed up….
How?
The film was animated entirely in CG using Autodesk Maya and Vray. There were some digitally photoshopped parts (the cat paintings). And one ancient Egyptian hieroglyph that was drawn by Allegra Michelle Jones.
Next Project?
I am about to graduate, so am about to begin job hunting…
Which Film?
Valor Cat (The Movie)
