Green Energy Island | 3D Opening

Green Energy Island | 3D Opening | Blender

To demonstrate sustainable energy industries in Taiwan, the concept of combining the 3D pop-up book and the style of the Game of Thrones opening was introduced during the creation. Most of the items were textured with wooden shaders with some textured in metal ones to build a warm and welcoming vibe carrying in a mysterious and retro way. The hardest part of this project is how to nicely arrange the mechanics sitting around the map under the constraint of the island's size and shape.

Storyboard

The beginning of the scene was initially designed to convey the idea of “information compressed” and “unzip” to present a small island with splendid green energy. However, the idea was altered later due to shortened length of the animation. The process of “unzipping” (unbuckling the belt) could take more time than a book pulled from the shelf in animation.
