pixelsgarden "Bon Bon" Studio promo

CLIENT: PIXELSGARDEN (HCMC Vietnam)

ROLE: I performed all 3d production and 2D post tasks for this look development test made for Yeti Films using MAYA , PHOTOSHOP, and AFTER EFFECTS. AI with NANO BANANA and KLING 01. Sound with ELEVENLABS and SUNO. Remote/onsite hybrid work. I went to Vietnam to kick off work on this!

NOTE: The project was a studio promo animated short intended to achieve Western CGI production values for the local market. It was fully pre-visualized and animated in 3-D then AI was used as style transfer to create the final render, which was a vast time savings because of the fur and trees with volumetric light coming through the leaves. The character was 3D modeled as basic geometry and rigged in 3-D with no fur. The shots were animated in a simple setting with no background, and the realtime preview renders were used to drive the final AI generated animation. In other words up until the end, the process basically was identical to a traditional animation.
