This is the story of the student who became a planet hunter. When Anne Dattilo attended a guest lecture at the University of Texas she had no idea it would be the start of a journey involving complex algorithms, a space telescope breaking down in orbit, a trip to an observatory in the Chihuahuan desert and, finally, the discovery of two new planets.

Role
I worked under designer Alex Maper and assisted him with creating 3D animations, 3D models, and comping animated shots based on his designs and notes.
This was one of the first pojects i worked on that leveraged 3D techniques to create a 2D animated aesthetic - which inspired my current mixed media apraoch to filmmaking.
