I was tasked with creating a story and project using something that relates to my life. Since I spend three nights a week here, I decided to pay homage to my place of work, the small, mom and pop restaurant "Mariana's The Stinky Rose". The name "The Stinky Rose" has been inspiring an image in my head for a while. In this project, I decided to bring this image to life with my little garlic girl as she explores the pizza hole.

This clip is only a third of a bigger story I want to tell. But, after three weeks of work, this is where I have gotten. Both the 3/4 view and 1/2 view of Garlic is done using deformers and bone animation. The two guys in the pizza corner are animated using frame by frame, as well as the rose.
