Abstract:
"This thesis will combine music with animation to create an animated story with an unexpected ending. Through environment design, I will lay the groundwork for foreshadowing in the story. To achieve my goal, I will use 3D animation as a medium to create a short film about spaceships and robots. The project will focus on digital sculpting and texture fabrication, utilizing software such as Maya, Blender, and Unreal Engine 5 to improve the quality of the 3D environment. For research, I will study films and short animations with unexpected endings, and visit rocket museums to learn about the structures of real-life spaceships." --Abstract
