CGI 3D Animated Short 'The Easy Life' - by Jiaqi Xiong + Ringling | TheCGBros

Check out this 3D animated short film called "The Easy Life", produced as a senior thesis film produced at Ringling College of Art and Design by the talented Jiaqi Xiong. For more information, please see the details and links below:

I made this film on my own but I received tremendous help from faculty, peers, and mentors! In the film, model, rig and animation was done using Autodesk Maya. Pixar"s Renderman was used to render my film. Frames were composited in Nuke to achieve the desired look. The Music for my film was downloaded on KillerTracks.

Thanks to everyone who supported me, helped me, and inspired me to make this film! Hope you will enjoy it!

About Jiaqi: I love watching and studying films. I enjoy lighting very much. I also love photography nature and my dog!

Well. That took a very quick turn down the dark road.

Although the lesson is quite obvious, this was very well done for a silent short. It didn't need dialogue to explain it's purpose, it just showed what it needed to, extra details only required to be sorted out by the watcher themselves.

Overall, this was an enjoyable lesson, even with how strange it seems on the surface.

Lesson Learned


Do your own work kids

[WiredLife]

Well…guess I should start that essay now. D:

[hachinniie]

If I saw my doll doing my homework I WOULD HAVE THROW THAT DOLL OUT MY APARTMENT

[not_mica]

Si les piden que aprendieron del video: Una persona tiene que valerse por sí sola, y no estancarse. como la muñeca que, a diferencia de la niña, pudo avanzar y lograr lo que quería con esfuerzo, la niña poco a poco iba cayendo en la flojera y lograr las cosas fáciles. Cosa que está muy mal y que no se debe hacer.
si te pide un ejemplo de vida cotidiana sería cuando le pido las respuestas de la tareas a mis compañeros o cuando copio en clase :D; espero les ayude !!!!

[AUM...]

Beautiful message: knowledge make you grow and these timepass things along with killing time, gradually kills your inner knowledge and make you smaller

I FEEL SCARED WITH HER SMILE IN THE END JAJJAJ

[abaankhanchannel]

The way the story ended was scary but by the way the smile the doll gave when the human turned into the doll was very evil

[tiaamdunord]

I thought the ending would be something like the doll was supposed to represent the mother and how she felt that the only way to connect with her daughter was to do her work for her.

[Mommy_charizard]

That was literally terrifying I thought it was gonna be like a cute ending where the they getTo go to school together but now it turned dark

[petaiensem]

This is the one of the lessons if we didn't do our homework and remember that our life full of challengers that will come
