About 'ON ICE'
On Ice was my final project at SAE University College. I was able to pitch an idea for an animated short film based on a script I had written in 2023 and gathered a primary team of 4 to develop my script into a fully animated Sci-Fi thriller short film once the project was greenlit.
For this project, I assumed the role of creative director and screenwriter. I worked as a lighting artist, fully lighting our environment in Unreal Engine 5, and as an asset artist, creating key assets using Maya and Substance Painter to fill out the environment. I completed some character animation for our character Lola in Unreal Engine 5 and managed all social media as part of our audience testing and marketing strategy.

Lighting
Lighting was done in Unreal Engine 5 using Lumen and a post process volume to adjust colour grading and exposure to create a moody and dangerous atmosphere.
Asset Design
Assets were created in Maya and textured in Substance 3D Painter.
