As I scribbled down my ideas for a fun halloween animation, what stuck to me was the idea of a witch going to battle against evil spirits. 

So I put on my trucker cap, and got to work building this sucker from scratch. I made the character in Character Creator, brought that over to Maya where I animated it, then did all the rest of the environment, FX, lighting and rendering in Houdini's Solaris environment.

This was an awesome and fun challenge. I'm looking forward to next year!
