"The Forest"
For 8 weeks in 2024, I was tasked with completing a fully animated and composited 30-second movie. I decided to use 3 of my original characters in a fantasy setting, hunting for a monster. The style of the animation is both my own and inspired by animated series such as Voltron: Legendary Defender, 2016, and The Legend of Vox Machina, 2022.

Character Designs
During Week 2, I touched up the designs of my original characters, as well as created a new one to use for this project. I started by designing the character turnaround sheets, and ended with their color sheets.
Concept Art
During Week 2, I also had to create 3 rough pieces of concept art and 1 fully finished piece.
Rough Animatic & Audio Design
During Week 3, I had to create a rough animatic and design the audio (i.e. music, voice acting, SFX).
Made with Clip Studio Paint, Audition, and Premiere Pro.
Final Animation
During the last five weeks, I worked on the x-sheets, key frames, in-betweens, inking and coloring, and compositing. Because of time constraints, part of the animatic was cut from the final animation.
