Introducing "Good Soup"

GoodSoup from Jessa Veronica on Vimeo.

Meet "Good Soup", the latest animated short created by our graduating class of animation students at Escape Studios. Directed by Jessa Timog-Santiago and produced by Iulineia Filip,  Good Soup was made using Maya, Substance Painter, and Unreal Engine.  Grumpy septuagenarian Mr Green tries unsuccessfully to open a stubborn can of soup; the hungrier he gets, the more desperate he becomes. Will he stop at nothing to get what he wants?

Software

"Good Soup" was animated in Maya, edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, and rendered in Unreal Engine. Textures were created in Substance Painter.
