More About My Coin 3D Animation

My Coin is a short three-dimensional animated film about the meaning of value. The story follows a boy who drops a coin into a sewer. A wealthy man sees the boy and offers a gold bar instead of the lost coin. For the boy, the gold is only a tool to recover the coin, while the man sees gold as the greater prize. The film shows that each person holds a different standard of value. My Coin was created with computer animation software, which allowed the characters and their actions to be exaggerated for dramatic effect.

Design Details

Unique Properties
A boy drops a coin into the sewer. A rich man finds such a boy and approaches. A wealthy man who knows the situation puts out expensive gold bullion instead of a coin to the boy.
Inspiration
Because gold is very expensive, people generally prefer it to cheap coins, but in terms of boys' value standards, gold was just a tool to get out coins. Everyone has a different standard of value.
Research

Challenge
Challenges on whether it is possible to produce 3D animations that can effectively deliver content within a short period of time.
Realization and Technology
3D Computer animation
Operation and Interaction
I made 3D animation using Maya program. Through 3D animation, we were able to exaggerate the character's behavior and express what we wanted to deliver more dramatically.
