Director Statement

The animated short was created over the course of one academic year single handily by myself. It was tough but I relished the challenge.

Production timeline was as follows:
Sep-Dec: Pre Production (drafting, concept art, mood boards etc.)
Jan-March: Modelling, designing, rigging and texturing the characters using only Maya.
April-May: Animation, editing, compositing, post production and everything else that glitters.
