Identity Crisis

This was the first short film made in college. It was done during my first year and was made through simple hand drawn animation. I prefer to work with traditional animation because I feel that I can showcase emotion more than I can with say Flash or Maya. Of course that means things can become off model pretty quickly and as this film was made within the span of about a month it shows. The story of a platypus trying to find out who he is has been a character popping in and out of sketchbooks since high school. Originally I had a whole story board fleshed out consisting of more interesting camera shots, but due to time and material restraints I found myself cutting it down to a single shot of him walking across his marshy home. My next project will be returning to the story of Identity Crisis, this time giving it a little more TLC. Hopefully I will have a finished animatic by mid December complete with a soundtrack.
