Cherry Hill
A girl rides a cart across the floating islands, leaps to the cherry tree and gathers the ripe red cherries with her wand.
Your host
Meet the girl with the wand.
She picks the cherries, tends the little fire and pours the brew, in every episode. A straw hat, two braids, a flower pin and a very curious bee keep her company.
She is built in Blender from 137 named, parented objects with keyed controls. Her wave to the bee was keyframed in the Graph Editor after a FreeMoCap motion-capture attempt proved too heavy for the laptop to process.
See how she was madeHow it's made
Modelled, animated, voiced and mixed by hand.
The characters, islands and animation were built in Blender. The story, the voice and the final edit are Anugraha's own.
Compositing
In Scene 1 the girl and the scenery are rendered as two layers and joined with Alpha Over nodes in the Blender compositor.
Voice and sound
Anugraha wrote the script and recorded the narration in her own voice, pitch-shifted to sound like a storyteller. The music and effects were generated with Python code.
Edit and captions
Each episode was edited in Canva: narration, music and effects synced to the picture, and every subtitle timed to the narration by hand.
