A Trip To Valkenburg
A 20 minute 3D slapstick adventure movie created with 3D Studio v4 and with the help of two classmates. It retells the tale of our school outing to the pastoral village of Valkenburg. Considering it to be our first steps into 3D modelling and with the limited time and resources (none), it was quite a feat.
As a school project, my friend René de Waele and I decided to make a 3D animated movie about our class trip to the idyllic Dutch town of Valkenburg a/d Geul. Being quite new at it, and the deadline was within a few months we decided to keep it low-polygon. The result is a 20 minute long slapstick movie, a series of sketches that are mostly only funny if ‘you have been there’ or know who the jokes are about.
