NEXTGEN Animation Project - The Balloon!

I signed up to NEXTGEN's Animation Accelerate course for Spring 2024, for this course I needed work on every element of an animation pipeline and produce my own scene (plus a small bonus scene) for the larger project. I was given three storyboards to work on, as well as a character design, building and rigging for animation.
The main scene I worked on was for a Crane Operator character who tries to catch the balloon while working, I really enjoyed working on this project and am very happy with the outcome. The Buildings and crane were not created by me - I just rearranged them to suit my scene.
I also animated a smaller scene with a satellite (Animating and Space Environment node setup by me).
I storyboarded two scenes, one with the policeman and one with the little girl.
I created a piece of concept art for the Alien Planet, used for reference when modelling in Blender which I also collaborated on with two colleagues.
