Finding Nemo: The Big Blue... and Beyond! - Tank Scene

The Tank Scene was one of the most important in the show as much of the dialogue and introductions for the show take place in the Dentist's tank. I was tasked with creating all of the environmental foliage and pieces for the 3D video elements that would go on the LED wall behind the performers during a full performance. I modeled, UVed, rigged, and animated over 40 individual elements for this specific scene alone.
