Julio Sillet shares a look behind the scenes of his fabulous short film 'Hope'.
Hi everyone, I’m Julio Sillet, a 3D modeler and Freelancer from Mérida, Venezuela. I’m a music fan, videogames lover, and technology addicted. I work with three friends at Uplop, a small animation studio. I specialize in modeling and texturing, I also work with lighting and render in Blender. I am currently studying to be able to fulfill my dream of work in the game industry.
The Teaser & Inspiration
The idea of our little friend came from our studio logo and a CGCookie tutorial, it was about a stuffed elephant, we wanted to do our first independent short film and he was the perfect character for the job. Later the history was written and designed by Cesar Silllet and Aurora Zamanillo, inspired in the classics movies of our childhood from Pixar and Disney,
“Hope” is located on a small moon near our planet where children’s imaginary friends are born. Here a little octopus will have to take a journey, overcoming obstacles and surpassing difficulties to reach his destined friend, always proving that hope is in the last thing that we lost.
