    Journey – Animated Short Film

    Journey – Animated Short Film

    Journey is a 2D animated short film that explores perseverance, hope, and personal growth through visual storytelling. The project focuses on creating an emotional experience with minimal dialogue, allowing expressive character animation, color, and composition to communicate the story.

    From the earliest concept sketches to the final rendered frames, I was involved throughout the creative process, including character design, visual development, storyboarding, background painting, frame-by-frame animation, compositing, and final editing. Every scene was carefully crafted to support the film’s atmosphere and emotional progression.

    The project was created using a hand-drawn workflow in Clip Studio Paint, with final compositing and editing completed in Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro.

    This project reflects my passion for character-driven storytelling and cinematic animation, combining expressive acting, appealing designs, and thoughtful visual composition to create an engaging short film
