Being Steven

A large collection of all the art and rendered stills from the Being Steven music videos.

This originally was suppose to not be a large project but I caught myself in a loop of needing to up the ante after every shot. The result was:
21 3d animated shots
39 2D animated shots

In retrospect, it's simple looking but ended up taking me longer then I wanted it too.
Everything 3D was done exclusively in Blender and everything 2D was made with Affinity Designer.

Music cover art for streaming platforms.

Video thumbnail image.

Recreation of the original video done so I could animate it and make subtle changes.

It all started with this. I thought it was boring in comparison to the energy of the song.

So I modeled the car and did this shot but thought, "well I can't do just this one for the rest of the video. Let me make some more."

And did another with light streaks.

And they turned out alright. Not amazing, but not awful. But I did a couple angles.

And one to end it the sequence.

And an alternative ending shot to end the 3d portion of the video.

But I also re-used the shots and repurposed them for different parts of the video. Like no lights for the end.

And alternative color ones for the climax.

Super pleased with how this turned out.

Then we come to the next sequence. This shot ended up taking a lot time since it needed to be broken apart to make that flat tunnel effect work.

And some driving shots to loop and reuse.

I then kept trying different things to see what I could make.

And then put together this.

But at the later points, I couldn't keep making new shots since this was already becoming larger then what I planned. So I did some random shots to help pad things out.
