How I made a short film in 9 days Final

Hello CG Cookie Community! I am Yana, a 3D animator based in Munich. For months now I’ve been working on my personal animation project called Funny Legs. It's a project that looks 2D and is inspired by mid-century cartoon style, but actually - it's all done in 3D. Well, almost. The characters - Bob and Dog - are 3D models, but some props are created in 2D with the help of Grease Pencil (also Bob has GP legs and hair). Basically, 99% of the show is done in Blender. I do the editing with music and sound effects in DaVinci, but I don't do compositing: it's just Eevee - press render - and it's done.

Today I want to show you the 5th Funny Legs episode - Insomnia Has Paws. I don’t have a pet yet, but my friends tell me that this episode is very relatable for both dog and cat-parents. :sweat_smile:

Next week I am going to Blender Conference in Amsterdam to present this project there. So, I had only two weeks before that to create this new episode - and I did it in 9 days. It was definitely hard, but this challenge was pushing me to be more creative and look for the corners that I can cut here and there.
