Elemental | Ember and Wade Animation Test | Animation Breakdowns | 3D Animation Internships

Here’s an unfinished “Bench test” scene from Elemental The director, Pete Sohn at one point in preproduction mentioned it would be a great way to discover who Ember and Wade were if they had to sit at a park bench together. What would their interaction be like? Taking that concept I mocked up this scene in some rough drawings, as if they sat at a park bench during a first date. It was a great way to do some test runs on how Fire and Water properties would manifest themselves tied to some performance and how each of their element and personality negatively or positive impact the other. This was also a nice way to figure out how we might get our models to behave this way on a more technical level and what tools and controls we might need. Three of these shots were animated by myself, one of them by the amazing Jessica Torres, and the rest were left unfinished in drawings as we moved on to other assignments. I should also mention these are just the temporary models we animated and tested with, before it gets rendered with work from other departments. Fellow animator and nemesis Cody Lyon scored some amazing music to go with it. Hope you enjoy! . Thank you for watching and Subscribing!
