Working on Of Ugly Things was a memorable experience. I was driven to try new things and learn new ways of working with programs where I had previously been satisfied staying within my comfort zone. Every bump in the road - which felt more like ditches at the time - pushed me to work harder and do better. These challenges helped me grow as a 3D modeller and as a person.
Set in an eerie landscape, a primal creature wrestles with its nature and the encroaching forces of the world around it when it is confronted by a defenseless child. Of Ugly Things is a short 3D animated horror/thriller film created for the client of Terror-Fi film festival as a major project for the Bachelor of Creative Media Production course.
