The Optimist
Feb 25th, 2016Student Showcase
Who?
John Mervin (myself) with Music written by my good friend Aaron Pantling, also a student
What?
In this Visual Poem about contentment, a young book lover tries desperately to get the book everyone else has.
How?
My original concept was to film the entire art piece on a green screen, but ultimately I decided to animate the entire thing myself using only blender for modeling, animating, and rendering, with only minor composting done in After Effects
Next Project?
My next project for the upcoming summer will be a mixed-media animated short using miniature, stop-motion, hand drawn, etc…
Which Film?
That would have to be… Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, thats such a fun movie
