    paper I will find you - student short film

    I will find you is my graduation short film, Its about a teddy bear called Milkey who goes looking for his human friend Heather. On his journey he finds ways to comfort his worry’s about losing her by drawing. He learns his drawings come to life and uses them to help other animals to feel better. In the end he realises that it’s ok to feel these emotions and understands he will always be safe with her. My dream is for my film to be something calming and peaceful to watch. For children to see before bed to help them wind down.

    The animation is done digitally using watercolour brushes for the background. I wanted to create a calming atmosphere, as-well as contrasting the differences between loneliness and joy. Using warmer and brighter colour when Heather is in focus and emphasising on Milkeys sadness. I also composed the music myself to make it feel more emotive and meaningful.

    paper Dancing with the stars

    The story focuses on a friendship between a bunny and a Fox, these two characters don’t get along well at first, they both have their own dreams and desires. The bunny has a wish to dance with the stars meanwhile the Fox doesn’t consider the bunny’s feelings and focuses on the science behind them. It’s not until they spot the shooting star that the bunny’s playful wish comes true and shows the Fox, that if you believe in yourself your dreams can come true and bring so much joy to life, which in the end brought them closer together and an umbrella full of stars.

    I want my animation to refect my love for animals and nature in a gentle and peaceful way. For people to get lost in my magical storytelling. Im always observing animal and watch the ways they move and act without words. I love painting in watercolour and wanted to recreate that in my animation as its a soft and dreamy medium. I searched for the perfect piece of music of my animation and for this one I wanted to create myself, I feel it expresses the emotion of my characters. I hope you enjoy watch as much as i have enjoyed creating it.
