Shimmer
Shimmer is a “tale of love and illumination”, in which two glass figurines come to life. It was created by our 3rd year animation and VFX students working together as part of a studio project, in which students collaborate to produce a short film.
Studio Project
Shimmer was created as part of PR6001, a Studio Module in which animation and VFX students join forces to create a VFX project over 12 weeks. Animation was completed in Maya, editing was done in Premiere, and rendering was done in Arnold.
