Animation project for JAIN with PGA Tour and the Genesis Scottish Open.

This was such an amazing project to work on! Honored to be part of this with PGA Tour and the Genesis Scottish Open. Chris Hovsepian from JAIN golf is always great to work with. I was contacted by Cody Garrow of Knitted City to help on this piece. I was responsible for character animation, scene creation, and compositing.
Valentin Pujadas created each scene in layers. I took these layers and translated them into a 3D scene. Most scenes were simplified 3D versions, with Val's texture projected onto it. Jain is a 3D rig with cel shading.
The first approach of this project was to be more of a stylized 3D look. These were the early looks of translating Jain from 2D illustrations into a production ready rig.
Early animation test of the 2.5D look. We decided to take a more 2.5D approach for the project to have a more whimsical, storybook feel.
Big thanks to Gavin Garrow, he simulated the ocean water for this boat shot.
