Relevant Projects
There are a number of artist who have individually produced animated short films. One with the most relevant style and method to this project is Draw with Me by Mike Inel. This film is a beautiful animated short with a simple story and engaging characters. Its production method is similar to White Hollow in using Photoshop to draw each frame and later compositing in After Effects. With one person acting as both a director and animator, the film took approximately 6 months to complete. The drawing style used is a childlike anime style, similar to White Hollow, and although the colouring style is much simpler, it is highly possible to achieve more complex colouring with the extra months of production for this project.
Other short animated films such as Handshake by PatSmith and Cloud by Sam Miller are also produced by individual animators. Both of these films use similar cartoony style to White Hollow and were done within similar timeframe. This is evidence that a short film with the scope of White Hollow is not an impossible task to complete within two semesters of study period.
