Sketches
I explored the topic through several sketches and compositions. The goal for these sketches is to communicate the future potential of this new flooring technology as a sustainable energy source for urban cities. With guidance from Prof. Dryer, I decided on a concept and refined the sketch for the modelling stage.


3D modelling
After finalizing my sketch, I started building assets in Autodesk Maya. These assets included building human characters which were rigged for easy manipulation.



Animation
Final renders were brought into Adobe After Effects for compositing and animating.
