    Whirlwinds
    Whirlwinds is a traditionally animated short film about an older storm chaser, Birdy, trying to prove the existence of heaven by traveling through to the top of a tornado after being mocked by his trucker friend. Inspired by my own envy of religious fulfillment and wonders about the afterlife, Birdy wants to see what’s really up there. The film is primarily ink on glass animation, colored digitally.
