⭐️ ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I started this project officially September 2024 and began working on the storyboard/animatic soon after in October. During the whole conceptualising phase, I also interviewed many musicians, gathering references, watching many films -- I finalised/cleaned up my storyboards and had a locked animatic (which means timing, shots, and story all set) by mid December of the same year.

I then started animation production in late January (the wildfires pushed my schedule back O_O) and basically animated, composited + did the sound/music simultaneously all the way up to April 2025! Watching my initial rough storyboard, I can't believe how far we've come with the idea, and that it feels so long ago yet it really isn't (it's only been 8 months). Thank you for watching my film this year!! Cheers to that while I start thinking about my thesis film now... ;-))
