Concept: A tale of two perspectives.
This project is based on the relationship between light and dark. The balance between the two could be taken at face value or be symbolic of inner emotions, reflection, and the search for identity.
The deliverable was an animation that showcased a sequence of three transitions. Later this past year, I returned to this project with the intent of blending 2 and 3-dimensional graphics while keeping core elements of my concept present.

Color palette

My palette was based on colors of 3D glasses. I wanted to play into a digital aesthetic with distortion and color aberration.
Notes on the process
Combining 2D and 3D graphics in a way that stayed cohesive, the transition between the two styles, and render times for my 3D environments proved to be the challenges with Duality.

Specifically in the scene where the ball bounces down the structure, I had to calculate movement of the rigid state object being affected by a wind simulator within cinema 4D.
