Leave Both Behind
Animated Short Film
AI TOOLS
Leave Both Behind is an animated short film intended to push the limits of current generation tools in 3d animation style. Created in under 3 weeks for a film competition. Once we had a script, we determined a hyper-real 3D Animation style, then created the characters (character sheets & voices) and began animating.
Locations
Once we had out script, we designed the locations one-by-one before we could place our characters in the scenes.
Character Design
We researched various different animation and illustration styles, settling on a textured 3d look, not dissimilar to a Pixar animation. Character references were collected and various generation tools were used to create, amend and perfect our central character. Custom models were then trained on this imagery to ensure that characters would stay consistent throughout the various stages of generation.
Post Production
Traditional post production was then completed. with the generated clips going through edit, sound design and score before proprietary techniques were used in the color grade to ensure perfect shot matching, and a creative look that enhances the inherent look of AI generated footage.
