Once in a Lullaby

Inter IIT 3D Animation - Winner 2025

Whats the Challenge

The IIT Teams have to create an Animation matching the 'Base Animation' given. We have fixed camera size and angle ( Sadly it's 9:16 </3 ) and Character position in screen-space. The theme was 'Rise Up'

It's like the pwnisher challenges, we can go crazy with everything else.

Our Animation

We wanted to experiment and go insane with the concept art, and after a lot of setting eliminations, we ended up with circus and clowns. This gave us the insane potential to create the beautiful visuals AND give the story of our protagonist the circus child.

The Process

Pre - Production

The Animations

My Part in the Animation

I was responsible for the Main Character Modelling, Rigging Her and a few other elements, The entire character animation, and a few other animations here and there. My Team did the Pre-Production entirely, although I did a little bit of help in the Animatics. My Favorite Team project so far :)))

The Final Animation

Entirely made in blender, Using the Brushstroke tool addon for texturing, No assets and absolutely NO AI was used. All Animations are handmade. Hope you like it :)


Thanks to blender for allowing students like us to create beautiful art and animations entirely for free, happy to be a blender studio member <3
