This project was a stylized CG animation created as part of a licensed Mega Bloks campaign featuring the Minions universe in collaboration with Mattel and Illumination. The goal was to take the familiar toy aesthetic and push it into a playful cinematic world, where everything feels like it’s built, broken, and rebuilt from actual blocks. The storytelling followed pre-defined storyboards provided by Illumination/Universal, and the production was designed to bring those beats to life in a fast, energetic, and highly visual way for promotional release.
On the production side, the work covered a full CG pipeline, from reshaping and preparing toy-based geometry for proper deformation, to rigging characters, animation, lighting, rendering, and final compositing. A lot of the challenge came from making rigid “toy” forms behave like expressive characters while still keeping that iconic blocky charm intact. The final visuals were built using 3ds Max and Mental Ray, with post work in After Effects and supporting tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, all stitched together into a polished short-form animation experience.
Sound design and story direction were provided by Illumination / Universal as part of the licensed IP pipeline.

Acknowledging the teams, studios, and collaborators behind the project.
This was an initial exploration for the Minion Mayhem animation, set in a stylized Mojave desert environment. The focus at this stage was on establishing mood, composition, and environmental storytelling rather than final visual language.
The scene was built and developed in 3ds Max and Mudbox, with emphasis on sculpted rock formations, terrain variation, and a simple road-based narrative path. Lighting and rendering were tested using Mental Ray to evaluate how atmosphere and depth could be achieved in a more grounded, semi-realistic approach.
The Minion vehicle animation and scene blocking were also explored early to understand timing, camera flow, and spatial layout within the environment. Additional post-processing and dust effects were later experimented with in compositing tools like After Effects and FumeFX to enhance motion and environmental energy.
Although this version established the core cinematic direction, the project later evolved into a more stylized and playful block-based Mega Bloks aesthetic, shifting away from realism toward a stronger branded visual identity and simplified geometric language.
This project was developed as a fast-turnaround animation test created for a sales presentation, focused on evaluating character rigging, blocking, and rendering within a stylized Mega Bloks environment.
The scene was built around a simplified production workflow using a CAT-based rig setup for the Minion character, allowing for rapid animation iteration under tight time constraints. The environment and props were constructed with a minimal, block-based visual language to align with the branded toy aesthetic and maintain clarity during motion and staging.
The final scene was rendered using Mental Ray, with compositing handled in After Effects to refine timing, visual balance, and overall presentation quality. Despite the short production window, the goal was to maintain strong character appeal and readable staging suitable for a sales and presentation context.
This piece was ultimately approved as part of the wider animation pipeline and helped validate the approach for subsequent stylized production work.
