Overview

The Matchstick is a 3D animated short film created as part of my final year project at the University of Visual and Performing Arts. The film blends storytelling and stylized animation to deliver a meaningful narrative through expressive characters and cinematic visuals. This project showcases my skills in character animation, environment design, lighting, and post-production within Blender.

The concept for The Matchstick was inspired by the idea of fleeting moments, resilience, and inner spark. I developed the story, character designs, and full animation pipeline—from modeling and rigging to texturing, lighting, and rendering. The project was both a technical and creative challenge, aiming to demonstrate my ability to handle a complete production workflow.
