Spring 2011
Collectible, the first release from student pitch project Stoveghost Animation Studio, follows Lenora, a sweet elderly woman, who orders a keepsake from a TV shopping network and soon becomes hooked on a line of cutesy porcelain miniatures that rapidly clutter her house and life. Stoveghost aims to simulate a professional feature animation studio environment culminating in a polished CGI animated short with a unique visual style and an engaging original story. The team started pre-production in summer of 2010, focusing on story, visual development, asset creation, and scheduling. This semester, Stoveghost will focus on animating, texturing, lighting, rendering, scoring, mixing, and editing the final piece for submission to film festivals.
