My first task as a full-time employee at Symantec corporation was to do this video, an explanatory clip on computer viruses.
I was given nothing but the dialog to work from, and was given free reign in terms of visuals. I got to design all the characters, environments, and scenes, and had to build, texture, animate, and render everything as well.
The project progressed smoothly with only a few revisions and was wrapped up in about 3 months.
Some of the Tools Used:
3DS Max 1
PhotoShop 3
Premiere 4
