Journey Beyond: An Animated Short

This feels like a good culmination of the work I have done this semester. I had a decent understanding of Blender and its tools going into this term, but I learned so much that allowed me to have more freedom with my ideas and creative direction. There are some scenes/shots that I would like to have re-done or even made minor adjustments to, but if I would have spent even 20 minutes longer working on this then I wouldn't have finished in time for the Media Arts Expo. I certainly feel as though this project has helped me find a good workflow in Blender as well as look at my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to storytelling.

Sounds come from ZapSplat and Freesound (except the voices, those are just me). 3D models made by me with the exception of the objects in the opening scene and the model of the earth, all of which come from Blenderkit. Some materials are from Blenderkit, some are made by me. HDRIs are from Poly Haven (except the one of the University).
