After the story was finished, I chose to work on the environment for our animation. I wanted to create a space that would support the emotions of the story and make it feel more alive. Using Maya, I worked on both the exterior and interior environments by myself.
For the exterior, I designed it to reflect South London, since the project was for SELCA (South East London Cancer Alliance). I thought this would help people connect more with the visuals, as it feels familiar and relatable. I kept this in mind while creating the layout and look of the outside space.
For the interior, I focused on keeping it soft and not too messy, to avoid any visual confusion. I wanted it to feel calm and clear, so the message of the animation could come through easily. Every part of the environment was carefully planned to support the character’s journey and make the story feel real for the audience.
