The animated short film is a 2–3-minute film focused mainly on background art and compositing. Animation was not an aspect that Jacquy and I wanted to work on.
For this project, I was the character and background artist, and the animator. Jacquy was the compositor, animation colourer and prop designer.
We both worked on the script, animatic and storyboard together.

Why we wanted a film based on background art and compositing rather than animation?
I wanted to be a background artist as I wanted a career in background and environment art because it is something I was good at and I enjoyed doing! I would
also love a career in character concept art and design. I love to animate but I would rather keep that as hobby for now to improve as I feel I
would burn out fast if i choose it as a career.
