Well here it is. After almost a month of writing, storyboarding, and the extremely grueling process of modelling and animating, my submission for Shrekfest Online 2021 is finally complete. I ended up having to cut out a lot of content both to make the deadline and to make things easier for myself, but I hope that this final product will still entertain you all. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it to make something based on a character whose movies I have held very dear to my heart ever since I was a toddler.

This is probably the most progress I have ever made in Blender, as I took a video game model of Shrek and fixed his vertices, his textures, rigged him, gave him shape keys, and animated him. I cut some corners with Woody and Buzz though. After this project, I want to switch over to Blender completely, and hopefully you can watch out for more of this type of animated content in the future.

Huge shoutout to Él for providing the 2D animated assets you see in this film. The final product wouldn't be what it is without their contributions, so make sure to check out their own content over on YouTube and Instagram:

I forgot to add credits for the music, but I used two tracks from Shrek Retold, specifically Tournament Speech by Dumb Fidelity and Dragon by Res the 2nd.
