The Present is a 3D animation I worked on with Luna Lou for my final project at the University of Technology Sydney.
 
We both designed the story and environment but worked on different characters; I was in charge of the female character.
 
I composed, edited the entire video, and also designed the sound

"It is a story about a son who wants presents for Christmas, but the family is too poor to buy gifts. The mother tells the boy to make his own Christmas presents. While he is sad, he decides to make this Christmas a little bit different, which surprises everyone.

The character was actually designed before this project, but we still preserved the main features of this character.
 
Her name is Audrey. She raises her son, Karly, by herself. Although she has a scary look, she has a warm heart.
 
Everything changes after the divorce. Audrey starts drinking, as drinking helps her escape from reality.

We made our own models and rigged them, designed and modeled the environment and objects, designed the lighting, and painted all the texture details.
