Myrne Scruff - 2024

This project was part of my Mini Major work and focused on bringing to life a Dungeons and Dragons character that a friend of mine had played. The project combined 2D animation with live-action footage, creating a hybrid visual style that allowed me to explore storytelling through multiple mediums. I used the Adobe suite to integrate visual effects, composite elements, and enhance the overall cinematic quality, experimenting with techniques such as layering, masking, and colour correction to blend animated and filmed components seamlessly.

In addition to the visual elements, I composed the original soundtrack in MuseScore, creating music that matched the mood and personality of the character while enhancing the narrative flow of the scenes. This allowed me to explore the connection between audio and visual storytelling, as well as develop my skills in music composition for media.

The project served as a proof of concept for my Major Work, giving me a foundation to experiment with workflows, software, and visual styles that I would later expand upon in a larger-scale project. It provided valuable insight into integrating multiple forms of media, balancing technical challenges with creative storytelling, and managing production pipelines, all of which informed the approach and ambition of my subsequent work.
