Lego Plane Animation

ABOUT

This project was an exploration of dynamic 3D animation and immersive sound design, centered around a high-energy Lego dogfight. Utilizing models from Sketchfab and Blenderkit, the scene was choreographed and rendered in Blender, with a primary focus on refining animation techniques. To achieve a timeless aesthetic that complements the historic aircraft, I opted for an analog, film-like grade during the post-production phase in DaVinci Resolve. The final edit and soundscape were carefully crafted in Premiere Pro to elevate the visual impact.

The project was executed over a full five-day work week: the first three days were dedicated to storyboarding and the animation process, followed by an overnight render, and concluding with a final day of grading, editing, and sound design. The most significant challenge was in the animation itself, specifically in capturing a sense of natural, weight-based movement while preserving the distinct "toy-like" charm of the Lego medium. Balancing realistic flight physics with the physical constraints of plastic models was key to achieving a believable and engaging final result.
