the brief

Make a short that reads as studio 3D animation rather than a reel of pretty AI stills — same characters, same lighting, shot to shot.

the approach

A project style bible, characters with locked features, generation driven by a shot list with scene anchors, and contact-sheet culling on every version.

the result

109 shots, seven assembly versions, one render look across the whole film.
