Kaleb Lechowski used a combination of Maya, ZBrush, Blender, Nuke and After effects in this impressive short movie.

Mainly I worked with Maya, but used Blender and zBrush for the modeling. I sat at the compositing with Nuke and After Effects – supported by Photoshop. The whole production is covered here for seven months, the entire second half until the middle of the third.

The fact that it was a solo project, I had all the freedom to try me on science fiction, because I did not know if I had the chance in the team would offer again. Was important to me, especially a solid story, a neat, intriguing dialogue, the first experiments with the Maya Muscle system and contact with Dave Masterson as an actor. By the sound of Hartmut Zeller I got a big boost for my project. Also, I had specific ideas in terms of animation and the facial expressions of my aliens.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
