Key Quest

Animation, 2023

Animation Cinema 4D Storytelling

KeyQuest is an animation demo made in Cinema 4D designed to tell a story through limited knowledge of animation techniques. The story follows two opposed protagonists, Cloak and Nocloak, and their quest to find a mysterious golden key. While one pushes through the crowded city, the other treks through the vast and desolate tundra. The two meet in a final showdown, before realizing that they can work together.

This project, while simplistic in appearance, was significantly advanced for the introductory class it was designed for, and would be the starting ember of a long and convoluted series of experiments with 3D animation.
