In my Junior year at university I collaborated with two other animation students to create a 2.5 minute long short film featuring a young, prehistoric bison calf. I contributed to the creation of the film concept, the writing of the script, the character design and the creation of a storyboard in the preproduction stage of the film. Once we got into production I was tasked with creating the 2D animation for half of the film. Once the animation and compositing was completed I then designed and edited the sound for most of the film.
