Veidirrin is my senior capstone film, which I independently produced from January 2022 to April 2023. I crafted the entire film from original concepting, scripting, and storyboarding through production and post-production and compositing, using a variety of 3D and 2D modeling, animation, and compositing programs.. The style has both 2D and 3D art combined for the environments, with 3D character animation. The film has roots in Nordic and Viking mythology, with references to Nordic monster myths such as that of Fenrir.
I have a separate blog dedicated to documenting the entire creation process of this film, which can be found here!
As of November 2023, Veidirrin has been marked as an Official Selection of the 2023 Liftoff Global Network Sessions Film Festival, and awarded an Honorable Mention at the Athens International Monthly Film Festival as one of the top 3 films in its category.
Storyboards
During production, some parts of the film did deviate from the storyboards as necessary changes were made to camera positioning, animation, and storytelling to best suit the story as it unfolded. These storyboards were made after several passes, but of course as in all productions, things wind up changing a bit as you work and discover what you originally planned doesn't work as well in execution as you thought it would.
