I Directed the short film WITCHY BUSINESS and had the pleasure of working with three other talented artists. We split up the work to suit our individual strengths, so this is a breakdown of what I worked on for the film. The story was based off an idea that we all collaborated on until we were satisfied with it. Next we worked on character design, going through several different pitches of character variations until we settled on the final design. I also worked on rough animation for the first half of the film, as well as cleanup and color. And Finally I worked on compositing all the footage and editing all the scenes together to make the separate animations into one final product! Enjoy the WIP Behind the scenes footage below, and If I didn't make it, the artist responsible is cited…. enjoy :)
