This animation was my final major project for University.

​

The purpose of the animation was to act as a demonstration of my skills within the medium, to any potential employees. 

​

This was to be shown to potential  employees and illustrate my ability to work across medias.

​

The story had to lend itself to the aim of making the animation itself, so a self referential plot seemed to be the way to go.

​

Using my skills within digital painting, I created each scene from scratch, mountains, oceans, sky and land, all layered up on top of one another and animated individually. I wanted to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, using just 2D objects.

​

As for the character himself, he was made up of 15 different layers, so animating him was a steep learning curve, as this was my second attempted at animating.
