Hello! What's this? It's the grad film that I worked on from Summer 2018 to April 2019 when I studied at Emily Carr University! It truly was an arduous process, especially considering the time constraints and how much I was forced to cut in order to finish it on time (*cries* good bye deleted scenes...you will be missed.......) but hopefully y'all can still enjoy the Aesthetics!

If you've seen my third year final film HARVEST, you might recognize some similar elements and characters. That's because HARVEST was a test-run for this film! It was for us to figure out our processes--writing, animating, compositing, all that pizazz. And let me say, it 100% helped to have explored my own process way beforehand so I wasn't scrambling to figure it out DURING the grad film development. Even then, it was a struggleeeee to get through the film. It's only four minutes long (haha "only") but there were multiple points when I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the film, even after cutting several scenes. But somehow I did it! Wowsers.

Now that I've graduated, I'm not going back to school this September, which I somehow feel both happy and sad about. If you are going back to school, you got this! There will be stress and homework and worst of all, essays, but I belieevee in you!

it's a common misconception that CG animation makes animation easy. in some ways, it does. in others....well, just watch.
