During my studies in architectural visualisation, I was introduced to both 3D- and 2D-animation as well as theoretical and technical knowledge in filmmaking. I found that my previous experience in filming and video editing helped me a lot and made the whole process relatively smooth and pain free. I was also helped by my interest in music and used songs as guides to make detailed plans of the different clips and their transitions. I find animation to be very fascinating and full of possibilities, and I especially enjoy the planning and the editing.
The scene in the video below is modeled, textured, animated and rendered in 3DS Max, and the video is edited in After Effects.
