::_ 3D ANIMATION - MACHINIMA NARRATIVE ON EXISTING VR GAME

_/_// 8 MINUTE HD VIDEO

This work was first developed as an interactive virtual reality game and narrative. In the video here, it takes the form of a 3D animation or 'machinima'
for storytelling purposes as a more common viewing. Assets, environments, character models, coding, cameras, and animations used to build the game were dug
into and re configured; along with bonus visuals which were added in addition to existing assets for visual and coherent effect.

CHEnd marks the tragic tale and end of Chevy the Cosmic : a forgotten star of the arcade boom age. In the solitude of the last remaining Chevy the Cosmic
arcade machine, he gathers his thoughts and memories waiting for the end. However, as he is marooned in the IT closet of an economically decrepit mall,
soon to be demolished, Chevy decides he's not ready to leave this world just yet. His escape is into the frozen flames of Crossroads Outlet Mall... where
in each of the stores, he discovers a moment to behold before passing away.
