Here's my first 3D film made in 5 days for a school exercise, hope you enjoy! :D
(None of the models are made by me, I found them online, this was just a storytelling exercise with the software Maya)

Here is the video itself: youtube.com/watch?v=BnGHfCN4FRI
Although it is roughly 30 seconds, it took us, as a team of 6 people, about 5 very tough months to make. This video is a breakdown of my part of the production for you to take a peek into our process!
Music from the game Civlization VI - Aztec Theme (Industrial) by Roland Rizzo
A lot of people have been commenting for a long time about whether I am coming back to pivot, or if I'm continuing EOM. The short answer is "no", however, here is what I did manage to make. As an AMV, this compiles the animation and story of episode 7 with music over it, so that we can finally say goodbye together. A farewell to pivot and to EOM.
The longer answer and explanation is this: The episode took too long to make and collapsed in on itself, stuff started getting outdated as I discovered other animation software, and it became clear that we were polishing and spending so much time and effort on something that should have been either finished or abandoned a long time ago. With that said, I think it took me way too long to decide to release this video, it's been long overdue, and it's incredible that people still want to see it, so I have no reason to keep it from you.
The characters are from a canceled movie from SPA Studios, the same studio that went on to make Klaus on Netflix.
Tested out EbSynth for all the fine details, and I must say AI is very handy. Also used a 3D base for the howdah. One of the biggest inspirations for the scene is an orientalist painting by Edwin Lord Weeks, an American artist of the 19th century.
Music from Raji: An Ancient Epic.
This short film was made in 100H with the help of my wonderful classmates and friends.
I'm excited to keep trying new things with my work and make stuff you'll enjoy. Let me know your favorites in the comments and what you'd like to see from me.
With love,
Alp

This short film was made possible by an incredible group of friends and my school Gobelins, where I was able to meet such amazing talents. Thank you to Marion, Elifsu and Mathilde for lending their voices, to Laora for animation assistance with curtains and hair, and to Simeon, Josephine, Mathilde and Elifsu for help with cleaning and coloring.
I worked with Can and Manit in creating the film and it is a great pleasure for us to present it to you all. We hope you enjoy!
This is a Russian folk tale from the collection of Alexander Afanasyev. Adapted by Igor Stravinsky as a theatrical work, my interpretation of the character of the devil is based on my experience listening to it, various photographs and illustrations of early modern age Russian fashion, and Russian illustrators such as Ivan Bilibine and Gennadiy Novozhilov.
I hope you enjoy seeing the character come to life!
Narrated by Roger Waters. All audio belongs to their respective owners, I do not own any of it.
Spooky new short film COMING SOON!

The story here is from a couple of online sources, and this is our interpretation. The artistic choices are inspired by the 19th-century ukiyo-e woodblock artist Toyohara Kunichika.
This video was originally meant to be made in 24 hours, then I extended it to 48 to finish the animation. For a few days afterward, I experimented with textures, colors, and text to try to pay homage to the work I drew inspiration from.
Hope you enjoy!

As you may have noticed, there is a drastic change in animation quality between consecutive shots. Due to the 5 years I have spent animating on and off on this single episode, this is the case for many scenes. I hope you have enjoyed this small preview. I look forward to sharing more as I begin to wrap up on this project this year!
Music used: Thunder Comes - Will Van De Crommert
The story goes that one of its eggs found itself into the bag of a 19th-century English explorer. Now having established its population in Great Britain, the asexually reproductive creature feeds on smaller animals during the night, using its lure to charm unsuspecting prey. A fully grown Prowler can take on larger animals such as horses, and even engage soldiers, or private guards who are tasked with driving their spying eyes away from the flamboyant dresses of mistresses and house pets.
MUSIC USED: Flow Like Chopin by Will Van De Crommert
DISCLAIMER: I posted the final product on my Instagram at the time I made it! This is meant to simply show the process! So if you'd like to keep up to date with my work, here I am!

Please let me know in the comments if these types of "breakdown" videos interest you because it is actually mandatory to make them at the end of each project for school, so I can post those here too if you're interested! I still can't believe we're at 50K, thank you to the people reading this from the bottom of my heart.
The music used in the video is called Headshot Trap by Valentina Gribanova
There is a proverb in Hebrew that goes “don’t open your mouth to Satan, for he is not a dentist” signifying not to flaunt your good fortune for Satan can hear you. But what if he was a dentist?
Such a cool experience, and working as a team made this challenge very enjoyable.
Check out the insta page of @itamarernst_ his voice work for the devil was just so funny we couldn’t stop laughing as we were trying to edit it.
And a very special thanks to @elisha_h_m for the incredible music, give his work a listen!

Lyrics:
Yo yo, waddup waddup, it's yo man Joakim
Check check
Rest in peace Uncle Connor
This a bomb ass beat Sean, you ready for this Tyler?
I don't need a beat
I can spit it all alone
Like I cough a fucking note
Go to war
Strive to be a soldier like a buffalo
Got weapons in my arsenal
But it's hard to know
Man, I don't know
Not only do I flow phenomenal
But I crunch my enemies, abdominal
Scratch that shit
Call me Eric .B unstoppable
My flow is sick and my rhymes are gold
Don't do shit, even if you send it to the hospital
Ain't got mustard on a beat
But I sauced it though
With my own herbs, spices, rhymes and flow
Salsa dough
Jazz it like a saxophone
And these bitches always has to moan
Cause my flow is just so sexy on the microphone!
This guy thinks he can get every girl he can meet
But the only pussy he gets is the mutant cats on the street!
Please leave a like or comment to show some love!
I started this one back in January and I know you guys have been waiting for this forever, so I am so happy I can get it out!! It's a beautiful feeling. I hope you guys love it!
