    paper "Hitchhiker"

    From the end of 2024 to March 2025, I worked on a 10-minute 2D animated short film. In the beginning I was a storyboard artist for a whole sequence and later given other sequences to finish boarding and act as a story board revisionist for. It was for a 10-minute animated short film that was being produced by me and a classroom of students. Later in the timeline I went from being a storyboard artist to a cleanup animator, coloring, and compositor.
