THE SECOND CATCH

Role: Character design

Production: MAKE

Client: RBFF - Take Me Fishing

Main Medium: Photoshop

Type: Commercial / 3D Animated short

Year: 2024

In this adorable 3D animated short film for RBFF Take Me Fishing, I collaborated with a vis dev artist Pei Hua Yang to design the family of three - Dad, Daughter, and Granddaughter.

The story follows the family bond between the finshing enthusiast Dad and Daughter. Both love going out together fishing and spending great family times. As time goes on, Daughter grows up, her personality evolves even and making friends though she still has the love for having a good time with Dad. However, Dad starts sensing the distance, assuming that she doesn't want to go out fishing with him any more. The distance between them keeps growing...until the time of re-bonding arrives. 

Character Designs

The Design Process:
The goal of the task was to come up with unique character designs that are appealing in 3D. It was a challenging task as well to translate interesting chracter designs in 2D to 3D renders that requires more technical solutions. This goal was achived as we collaborated with Pei Hua Yang, who provided the final character designs. 

Yang provided the character illustrations, and I polished her illustrative designs to improve details and volumes for 3D modeling, and explored cosmetic, costume variations on them.
