This project is an animated cutscene taken from Michael Grant’s GONE series. The scene is from the end of the final book ‘LIGHT’ where two characters, Diana and Caine, are exchanging an emotional goodbye as Caine goes off to sacrifice himself. The scene focuses heavily on character animation, voice acting and scene setting to capture the emotion the characters are experiencing. Austin Flynn and Ellie Lee helped bring the characters to life with their voices.
My main motivation was my love of 3D animation and how much I enjoy seeing a well animated cutscene in a game. I wanted to create something similar to a game cutscene as it is my ambition to become a cutscene animator for games in the future.
