The Collector (Trailer)

I've just completed my first ever full 3D animation called the collector.

"The collector is a dark and lonely figure who hates light and music. So great is his hatred that he has stolen the stars from the night sky so that the world is without the light of music of the heavens.

As yet another helpless star is captured and imprisoned in the collector’s larder we join the stars as they are suspended in jars from the ceiling. Even through the dull glass each glows with a soft incandenscene and hums a sad lonely note.

The newest addition to this gallery or lights discovers through longing motion that he can strike his glass prison against his neighbour to free him. In doing so this becomes the story of the stars and their escape."

I did this project in Maya which was a mighty step learning curve. As such the project is a trailer more than a completed piece. If there is enough interest in the long run I hope to get around to telling the full story one day.
