This was a class project in my animation class. My friend and I choose
to work on this together. He worked on the last half and I worked on
the first half. I didn't have his half when I updated this so when I
get it I’ll post it. In this project the main focus was the animation
so the textures and modeling are not top quality and there is no sound.
The story is a Pixar type story where inanimate objects come to life
when everybody leaves. The lights get turned off in a bowling alley
and the bowling balls and pins begin to wake up and start stretching.
Then for fun the main character or Agent as we named him, decide to
go and knock some pins down. Agent has a uni-brow so the pins start
to laugh and mock him for this difference. Agent gets angry and paces
back in fourth. Then I was going for the cartoon style sprint when he
rolls toward the pins. The pins see this coming and jump out of the
way. In the ball return tunnel he gets angry at himself and when he
gets out he sees the other balls laughing at him.
This is where my friend picks up.
So he thinks about how he can nail the pins and get his friends to stop
laughing. He looks down the lane and sees the pins in a huddle, so he
starts to sneak down the lane because the pins can’t see him as
they are turned around. Then he jumps in the air, the pins at the last
second look up as the get slammed by Agent. When he gets back to his
friends they laugh at the pins and cheer for Agent as they carry him
away.
My partner on this project was Erin Clark and you can see his website
here. Erin worked on modeling the enviroment and pins, lighting.
