ELEMINIs | Cinematic Game Trailer (2019) - Senior Thesis

[ PERSONAL PROJECT ]
Discover the lore behind their world as this animated short details how they were and how they came to be. An adorable team of Elemental Miniatures, known as the ELEMINIs, band together to collect the missing pieces of their long-lost orbs, all while saving their land from falling victim to the Belluas.

Disclaimer: Not to be confused with Eleminis card game, created by Smiley POP. This is solely a senior thesis first created in Spring 2018.

A BFA Thesis Film made by Me (Rina Lam), and Sunny Satpathy at California College of the Arts (CCA). In 2018, when I had designed these characters in my Intro-to-Games class, I immediately fell in love and knew that there was something I wanted to do with them. Originally fully pitched as a co-op video game, I decided to make a cinematic game trailer as a mock-up that would allow me to fully help develop their lore as my senior thesis.

I would like to thank the talented people for helping me bring my vision to life:
