The Empty Child

The Process:

This assignment was to model a mask in Cinema 4D and then create a short commercial showcasing the mask, using an actual company for the "client." I chose to do an advertisement for reruns of Doctor Who on BBC America. The episode The Empty Child was the first thing that came into mind when I thought about masks because the image of the child in the gas mask was so powerful and quite creepy, so I modeled a gas mask in Cinema 4D, lit and

animated the mask and camera, then pulled the footage into After Effects to add music, SFX and titles.

Unfortunately, I ran out of time so was not able to model the T.A.R.D.I.S. (police box/ship that travels through time and space), so the beginning piece is stock footage from the opening sequence of each Doctor Who episode of that season.
