The Belvedere Double

Been forgetting to add this to the archives for a while now... introducing my final year undergraduate film, "The Belvedere Double." I finished work on this around about November 2013. I spent eight months on the short doing everything from script writing and pre-vis through to post-production on my lonesome, getting tripped up at just about every obstacle on the way. It was a fantastic experience. Sure, there were a heap of 3am bedtimes with 6am wake-ups, but it forced me into a lot of corners where I had to step out of my comfort zone to learn something new, and was a good gauge on how far I could push myself and still manage to function as a normal human being.

There's a whole pile of amateur-level things going on - the stiff animation (courtesy of my terrible old rig),  the poor pacing, the weak ending - but I'm proud of it for what it is. I went back and tried to fix a few of these problems after I'd finished the version uploaded below, but ran out of steam. I replaced the weird modern hubcap in the intro with a 50's era one, and modelled, rigged, and animated some crows squawking and carrying on outside the windows in the first two shots, but after all that I ran into some major headaches with the render farm and decided to just call it a day.

Big thanks to Darren Whyte for capturing and adding sound to the short! You can see more of Darren's work here:
