Dear Hickory

Dear Hickory is a student 2D animated short film produced as part of the fifth-year animation programme at ARTFX Lille. The project combines hand-drawn animation, visual effects, and compositing to bring its artistic vision to life.

I worked as one of the main 2D animators and served as project manager, contributing to rough animation, clean-up, colouring, 2D effects animation, and compositing in Adobe After Effects. I also worked on developing a watercolour-inspired visual approach for the film’s fire effects, ensuring they integrated with the overall art style.

To be released on YouTube in November!!
