In a pink circus, surrounded by soft starry lights, a Pierrot juggles to entertain with a smile on her face. But something isn’t right, and a simple mistake can means danger.
Bonbon Circus is a Blender animated project taking place in a vintage style circus, and play with the contrasting concept of soft child-like aesthetic with light horror. Focusing on two main characters: Pierrot, and Marionette. Pierrot is someone who on the outside seems to perform as a part of the circus, but she isn’t someone originally from this world and was brought here against her will. The other character, the Marionette, a mechanic creature attached to the top of a carousel. She, at first, looks like part of the decoration but grows to be something more sinister.
The progress of the project evolved from designing a 2D concept inspired by Victorian style circus, cluttered with decorations and filled with drapery, to modeling 3D scene with items translated from the concept sketch. The final step is to create a sequence of events that conveys the story of the BonBon Circus.
