Take a journey into the twisted imagination of a child with “My Little Nightmares,” a 3D animation short film by Victor Lin. Inspired by a Pixar workshop assignment on using toys to tell a story with limited frames, Victor brings his exceptional skills in directing, editing, storyboard, layout, rigging, animating, modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, compositing, VFX, music, and sound editing to create an unforgettable experience.

From Workshop Assignment to Short Film

During the workshop, lecturer Scott Morse assigned the students to create a story using toys with limited frames. Victor’s work was well-received and he was lucky enough to present his work. The photos he took for the workshop served as inspiration for “My Little Nightmares,” his first 3D animation short film.

In “My Little Nightmares,” the toys come to life in a terrifying way. They are no longer the friendly companions of childhood, but twisted and malevolent versions of themselves. The suspense builds as they creep closer and closer to the child’s bed, leading to a chilling climax that will leave the viewer on the edge of their seat.

Earlier in 2018, I was one of the students at a Pixar workshop in Taipei, Taiwan. The lecturer Scott Morse gave us an assignment about using toys to create a story with limited frames. He said that every intern in Pixar has to do this assignment too. I was very lucky to get picked and to present my work. The photos below are images I took for the workshop, which inspired me and made me create this short film “My Little Nightmares”. This is my first 3D animation short film, and I hope you will enjoy it.
