Little Lowell

Project Type: 3D Modeling, Motion Design, Poster & Social Design

This project started as a challenge to myself to begin to model some things in Blender, and quickly turned into a test to put not only some new found skills to use but some ones that may have fallen to the wayside. Bringing this 3D environment to life with a mixture of graphic, motion and 3D design, this project was my first attempt to start to blend skillsets from my old and new, creating a unique blend of grungy aesthetics mixed with clean renders to begin creating a style that feels all my own. 

Stadium Model:

This project started as a challenge to myself to begin to model some things in Blender. Deciding starting with Lelacheur Park, a place I grew up frequenting, every inch of the stadium was hand modeled and textured over the course of a weekend. This was a head first dive into modeling, after spending the past year improving and learning more about 3D rendering.

Poster Design:

With the model handled, I moved onto the poster design aiming to create a poster that would be well suited to putting together in a motion design, using clean shapes and a strict grid to achieve this.

Motion Design:

Coupling a clean 360 rotation to show off the model, with a warping toon effect along side simple and clean motions allowed for a simple design & model to really stand out in a way that would not have read otherwise. 

Detail Renders/
Character Shots:

After creating the motion design, I went to capture some detail renders of the stadium but everything felt a bit flat. At this point, I modeled out Bingle Boe, my bunny buddy, to explore the ball park. Adding a character to these renders not only allowed me to breath life into something that felt otherwise uninteresting.

Carousel:

Last step in the process of bringing everthing together was creating the carousel post to accompany the motion design & poster that told the story of the renders. This is a space where I got to let a bit more of myself shine through on the process while keeping the front end clean and professional. This was an amazing project that allowed me to dust off some old tools and polish some new ones!
