OVERVIEW
CREATIVE DIRECTION
This project reinterprets the classical Nine Colored Deer myth within a speculative post human future, examining the relationship between digital life, psychological space and the consequences of human desire.Its visual language combines green futurism, Dreamcore and bioluminescent imagery to construct an alluring yet unstable digital ruin. As the environment shifts from abundance to distortion and silence, it materialises the psychological pressure of pursuing illusory wealth and gives the narrative’s moral causality a coherent spatial form.
The Nine-Colored Deer and Pale Dancer were developed through Blender studies and detailed reference sheets defining their proportions, silhouettes, materials, expressions and movement. These visual rules maintained consistent character identities across generated keyframes and animated sequences.
TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT
Story script:
Scripting and storyboarding to define the chronological sequence of the film
Environment Design:
Utilizing sketches and style reference conditioning to dictate keyframe output
Keyframe sketch:
Generating environmental space to stabilize the transition from stills to final animation.
KEYFRAME IMAGES
INITIAL VERSION:3D & VR NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE
The initial iteration of Nine Colored Deer was natively modeled, rigged, and rendered entirely within Blender. Adapted from the traditional myth, this version was designed as a fully immersive VR experience, allowing users to navigate the spatial 3D environment and physically journey toward the narrative's conclusion.
