As a child, I always enjoyed reading adventure books which stimulated my imagination by taking me on wild journeys to new worlds and allowing me to encounter all sorts of characters and creatures. Over time, those childhood novels which I once read and loved, slowly disappeared from my imagination and memory. I always wished I could have captured the excitement of the journeys, which I got to explore through reading the novels.
So my project will be based on a childhood dream of turning a novel into a 3D production.
Outcome would be to:
- Create a concept of a character from a novel.
- Create a environment concept.
- Design a 3D model of a character.
- Rig the character.
- Animate the character.
- Have a charismatic turn around of the character.
- Have fully completed animation, with a duration of about 3minutes.
Software:
- Ill be using Illustrator, Photoshop, Maya, Audition and Aftereffect or PremierPro to complete this project.

Story Book Summary
The Indian in the Cupboard

Later that day Omri gets a cupboard from his older brother, Gillon. He uses a key inherited from his great-grandmother to open it. Omri, unaware that the key is magical and can bring inanimate objects to life, puts the toy Indian in the cupboard.

Soon, Omri's best friend, Patrick, finds out about the magic cupboard and brings a toy cowboy named Boone to his house to test the cupboard's properties.
Goblin Secrets
In the town of Zombay, there is a witch named Graba who has clockwork chicken legs and moves her house around—much like the fairy tale figure of Baba Yaga. Graba takes in stray children, and Rownie is the youngest boy in her household. Rownie’s only real relative is his older brother Rowan, who is an actor. But acting is outlawed in Zombay, and Rowan has disappeared.
Desperate to find him, Rownie joins up with a troupe of goblins who skirt the law to put on plays. But their plays are not only for entertainment, and the masks they use are for more than make-believe. The goblins also want to find Rowan—because Rowan might be the only person who can save the town from being flooded by a mighty river.

Little House in the Big Woods
Little House in the Big Woods describes the homesteading skills Laura observed and began to practice during her fifth year. Hard work is the rule, though fun is often made in the midst of it. Laura gathers woodchips, and helps Ma and Pa when they butcher animals. Laura also helps Ma preserve the meat. This is all in preparation for the upcoming winter. Fall is a very busy time, because the harvest from the garden and fields must be brought in as well.
The cousins come for Christmas that year, and Laura receives a doll, which she names Charlotte. Later that winter, the family goes to Grandma Ingalls’ and has a “sugaring off,” when they harvest sap and make maple syrup. They return home with buckets of syrup, enough to last the year. Laura remembered that sugaring off, and the dance that followed, for the rest of her life.
The End
After the storm, Kit Snicket and a friendly snake known as the "Incredibly Deadly Viper" are shipwrecked on the island. Count Olaf disguises himself as Kit Snicket. However, the islanders immediately see through Olaf's disguise and capture him. They then debate whether the orphans should be expelled from the colony when they discover that the Baudelaires are carrying items which go against the island's customs. The children, along with Olaf, end up abandoned on the coastal shelf.
The Baudelaires notice an object that fell out of Ishmael's robe, which is an apple core. Olaf explains that Ishmael has been lying to the islanders and breaking their customs in secret. That night, two of the islanders, Erewhon and Finn, sneak out to feed the children and ask them to join a mutiny against Ishmael in the morning.
Lucinda's Secret
Simon, Mallory, and Jared Grace know that faeries are real-and that they aren't always the charming creatures portrayed in popular fairy tales. Ever since they discovered Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You, the Grace family has been surrounded by magical beings with decidedly hostile attitudes. They have a wounded griffin convalescing in the carriage house, a spiteful house boggart playing malicious tricks, and even weirder the oddities lurking around practically every corner. Hoping to learn more about the book and its long-vanished author, the kids decide to consult their Great-Aunt Lucy, Arthur's daughter. She has been hospitalized ever since she was attacked by faerie beings who suspected that she knew where her father's book was hidden. She warns that the family will be in grave danger if they remain at Spiderwick Estate. When the siblings find an old map that leads into the elves' secret forest, their aunt's grim prediction seems all too plausible. They decide to follow the map which leads them to a glade with elves residing there. They prevent them from leaving and ask for the guide. They attempt to keep Jared there as ransom but he outsmarts them and they are able to escape. Later they resolve to find where Thimbletack hid the guide as they are "tired of being bossed around by faeries".
