Project Details
The 3D moth was created for the short film "Noctuidae", a project by
Alexandra Mauritz (director & screenplay). The real film with VFX elements is about 15 minutes long and is a
fantasy drama. I worked closely with Alexandra Mauritz and was responsible for modeling, texturing, shading and grooming of the 3D moth. The biggest challenge was to create a moth close to reality so afterwards it's matching with the life footage.
The short film is about a lonely seamstress Amelia who receives a visit from a strange man: She should sew a coat for him - from moth wings. Amelia agree and hopes to find her place in the neon world. When the fragile work is finished, she follows secretly the man to the roof of the factory: he seems to believe to be able to fly up to the moon with the moth coat. Was he just a stray spinner? Or is it possible to escape the blazing lights of the clocked world?
