Cvlte - Scorpion Project

Category: Live Music.

Main Role: CG Designer, Character Modeler.

For the 'CVLTE' live concert, they asked me to create and animate the main character used in the live concert opening and ending.  It was a challenging task, we had around one month to deliver, and it was my first time using Unreal Engine for production.

It turned out to be a really fun project, they gave me a lot of liberty to play around and explore Unreal Engine, turns out face mocap is quite fun! :)

Here are some clips extraced from the live opening sequence.

The compositing and production was done by Maxilla.

Additionally they asked me to create some bug animations for the character.

Inspired by the squash & stretch principles of traditional animation, I tried to push the limits of reality, creating some interesting frames.
