FRIEND-CHIP
An original animated short film I am working on.
This project began as a script writing assignment while studying my Bachelor of Animation at SAE Institute, Melbourne. After writing a script I really liked and god some great feedback, I decided to develop the script into a short film during my major project.
Due to COVID-19 and some other complications I was unable to develop the short film fully, however I decided to create a playblast/animatic proof of concept trailer.
