Mechanical Beetle Animation
Mechanical Beetle Animation from Jaren Kirkman
Mechanical Beetle Animation

This beetle model is relatively simple, however the textures really bring it to life. The animation demonstrates video composition as well as the ability to animate from multiple angles. With some procedural animation to give shakiness to the mechanical parts of the model, it gives it the life-like realism I desired from the project. After animating and rendering the 1440 frame animation, I used DavinciResolve to finish composing it, which included adding music and sfx.

A frame from the final animation showing off the inner-workings of the beetle.
Listen with sound on as the sfx adds to the final result.
