R O S A

"ROSA is an epic sci-fi short film that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared. From the destruction awakes Rosa, a cyborg deployed from the Kernel project, mankind’s last attempt to restore the earth’s ecosystem. Rosa will soon learn that she is not the only entity that has awakened and must fight for her survival.
The short-film was created entirely by young comic-artist Jesús Orellana with no budget during a single year. "

"When I first started I had absolutely no idea about animation or video editing, so as a graphic-novel artist, the plan was to make a smaller 2D short film with drawings and very limited animation. Then I started experimenting with some 3D software I used previously for reference in my drawings. I did some rough animations and was very happy with the results. The rest was a lot of tutorials, time, and hard work. I worked on the short full-time, all day, all year. The first six months were mainly a trial and error process.

The equipment was nothing fancy, I used my computer and software I already had. For the CG, I used a combination of Blender and Daz Studio. The renders were heavily post-produced to achieve the look I wanted. I used my experience as an illustrator to work every shot like a painting with lots of layers and details. It was hard work but ultimately very rewarding. Hardware was an old 2003 iMac that died during the process and was replaced by a Mac Pro during the production."
