Potions Class

Potions Class is was created as a gift for a close friend, and as part of my daily practice. I was also how I introduced myself to the modeling program Blender.

Like other projects, Potions Class started with sketches and layouts of the type of scene I wanted to create. I also created a storyboard to get my ideas for the animation down from the get-go.

Looking back, this was quite the ambitious project for someone who didn't really know how to use Blender. I don't have regrets, however, because this deep-dive allowed me to really get comfortable in the software. By the end of the project, I had touched modeling, rigging, animation, lighting, shading, rendering, sequencing, and composition all in Blender.

I used Reaper to compose the short rising sound at the end, complete with virtual celesta.
