Kindred & The Last Of The Fallen

Kindred & The Last Of The Fallen is a 3D animated cinematic work born of a fascination with storytelling and the technical aspects of 3D animation. This project explores themes of strength, protection, and identifying with loved ones. With an art direction driven by procedural shaders and 3D tools. Kindred, the protagonist, is struck by tragedy when her family is lost to the bear clan. Leaving her village, she finds herself with the resilience and purpose to protect her heritage and the family vault from the hands of greed.

This cinematic project was heavily inspired by The Last Bastion from Blizzard Entertainment and Behavior Interactive’s Dead by Daylight cinematics. Both productions provided great detail and eye catching moments in their characters. I felt inspired to incorporate moments from them into my own, as I’ve fallen in love with the visualization of detail
