Lilli - Animated Short Film

About:

'Lilli' is an animated short created by a team of 6 students at Texas A&M University in fulfillment of the 2022 Summer Industry Course with DreamWorks Animation Studios. With the support of 6 mentors, my team and I created 'Lilli' during a 10 week period. The goal was to create a photo-realistic 3D animated short that was 20 seconds or less with the prompt "a toy comes to life."
