The Subway

Have you ever felt uneasy inside a subway station during the dead of night? Like someone is always watching...

As a team of 2, we tried to encapsulate this feeling within 24 hours through the reflection of the real world as it quiets down late at night. 

This hybrid 2D and 3D Animation places the viewer as the only person inside an underground subway station, feeling lonely, empty, gloomy, and uneasy.

We had discussed many various iterations to determine what drives our story towards the idea of mystery, through camera placement, environment adjustments, asset creation, and visual queues, tying into the prompt of 'The last thing we heard'. Luckily, our set of skills is widely diverse, which helped with efficiency, creative direction, and technical skills, which has led us towards this path of storytelling. 

As for the tools utilised, it was great that our main application for the project was primarily Blender 3D, as both of us are very experienced in that programme. Other addons, tools, and programmes used were: BlenderKit, Krita, After Effects, and Blender's Nodes System.

Thank you, UC for this great opportunit
