OVERVIEW

We partnered with NerdVerse Originals to produce a satirical 3D animated short featuring four futuristic superfans debating the never-ending DCU vs MCU rivalry. This 3-minute comedy blended pop-culture references with exaggerated character animations, targeting comic-con audiences and streaming platforms.

CHALLENGES & APPROACH

  • Character Diversity: Designed four distinct fan archetypes with over-the-top facial expressions.

  • Visual Easter Eggs: Packed backgrounds with futuristic setting.

  • Timing Precision: Used procedural animation to sync punchlines .

Process Highlights

  • Voice Acting: Recorded improv sessions for authentic reactions.

  • Lip Sync: Used AI-assisted timing to match mouth movements.

  • Prop Design: 3D Modeled parody items.

Tools & Techniques Used

  • Software: Blender (character rigging), Unreal Engine (real-time rendering), After Effects (VFX).

  • Techniques: Motion capture, slow-motion cinematography, dynamic particle systems.
