‘Hard Times’
A 2D/3D hybrid short exploring a complex relationship found in nature, blending stylised cel animation with hand-drawn and CG environments. Created by Charmaine Kwok, Irina Vlachoulis, Jacob Taylor, and myself for the Microflix Film Festival.
I assisted with the visual development developing style frames, colour tests, and environment texturing. I also worked on the cel-animation roughs, cleans, and colours.
The project required a cohesive visual language that allowed 2D performance and backgrounds to sit naturally along with 3D elements.
