The Wishing Well

Lyra Xiong

As the first 3D animation I have ever made, The Wishing Well(2022) shows a naive and immature touch on not only modeling, but also animation process. Howe ver, this is still by far my favorite animation piece ever because of the effort I had put into it as a starter. In the animation, the coin took a flip in the air and dropped into the well that is positioned in the center of a deserted and empty city. I hope viewers get a sense of tranquility from the bell sound of the background, and the descending speed of the coin flipping.
