As my exam work for my bachelors' degree from Linköpings University I wanted to learn a new skill, while researching something I felt was relevant and important. So, I decided to create 3D-animated short film with the aim of reducing stress.
The project started with research into what visual and auditory stimuli reduced stress. I wrote a calming story, did sketches and created a moodpboard as well as a storyboard.
The 3D-modelling, texturing and animation took place in Blender. It was a time-consuming but very educative process.
After rendering all the sequences I edited the video, recorded sound effects and found suiting music.
At the end of the project, I was extremely proud to have produced a 3-minute long short film that was found to have a calming effect among the target group. In addition to this, 3D didn't feel overwhelming anymore. Instead it was an exciting tool I could use in future projects.
