El Silbón

Group cinematic project — 2nd year university project.

I worked on modelling, character animation, texturing and storyboarding. I used a variety of software tools including Maya, Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint and I used storyboarder to create the storyboard and it allowed both me and my co creator to make changes and add parts we needed. I also put everything together in DaVinci Resolve, which also meant that I did the sound design for this animation below.

Created this short animation as a group project based on the folklore of El Silbón. Which originated form the Los Llanos region.

Synopsis: On a misty night in Los Lanos, a drunk rancher is hunted by the ghostly whistle of El Silbón echoing through the dark, each whistle pulling him into the depths of the forest and closer to a fate he cannot escape.
