Designer, animation director and animator Neil Stubbings has released his latest short film and passion project SUNDAY. Reminiscent of classic cartoons but with a modern edge, the film centres around a rather parched little penguin in search of a Sunday ice cream - but the path to true love never does run smooth. Cue a whole host of toon-like scrapes as well as characters from afar.
“I always try to do a lot of personal work/passion projects just to get rid of my excess creativity. I just have too many ideas in my head. Also, it lets me work differently than in a regular client-artist relationship. The workflow is much more chaotic. A project like this somewhat just grows organically until someday, after countless hours, it is finished,” says Neil.
Neil created the 3D sections in Maxon Cinema4D and composited in Adobe After Effects, enabling him to blend his classic cartoon spirit with a 3D style.
