Dandelion

Dandelion is a 3D animation about love, loss, and let-go. Amy, a little girl who misses her grandfather and can not accept his passing away, still keeps imagining she can see him again. Chung, Amy's grandfather, who earned extensive wisdom from his struggling life, always told her, 'Life is just like dandelions. When the wind comes, they leave, but they won't disappear. They are just going to a new place to start a new life...' These words are embedded in Amy's heart, but she never notices that. However, while she keeps feeling sad of her grandfather's death, a dandelion seed arouses this hidden treasure in her mind again. Finally, this precious gift brings her away from the eternal despondency and gives her infinite courage to release her mind.

Sorry man, I know it's been a while not publishing new stuffs here. I really wish I have time to work on a new projects, but it's just not easy when you have a full time job. I'll still try my best to work on something in my free time, hopefully can be showed here soon. Thanks for the appreciation though!

please tell me what gear you use to make this? Software? hardware? Thanks

[jackieliao]

Hi,

Thanks for the question. This animation was created using Autodesk MAYA, Syflex, Apple Shake, Adobe After Effects, Premiere and Photoshop. For Hardware, I used my own 2 PCs (both with P4 CPU and 3 GB Ram) and some computers in school for rendering. I hope these are all you want to know. Thanks.
