I had the idea of trying to create short stories with the focus of the 7 basic plots. Each told within a 1 min timeframe. So far I've manage to tackle three themes: " Overcoming the Monster", "From Rags to Riches" as well as "Rebirth". The films are displayed below with concept art and material for each film further down the page.
Knight of Hearts
With this short I tried to get better at managing the 1 min time limit. It is heavily inspired by Legend of Zelda and Disney classics like Sword in the Stone, Peter Pan and of course Eyvind Earles wonderful backgrounds for Sleeping Beauty.
During the making of the film, me and some former classmates where trying to start a company focused on animated production. My hopes where that the film would complement our portfolios with something created from scratch in house. Sad to say the company never happened.

Score for the soundtrack to Knight of Hearts.

This is my first attempt at making a short using the mix of cel animation and 3D, as well as trying to make a short using Blender. I also wanted to experiment with tattoos and adding texture to clothes. The look is inspired by 80s movies like Flashdance and Back to the Future, set in a futuristic world with flying cars and buildings rising over the clouds. I think both the story and production could’ve been improved a lot but it was time to move on to the next project.
Cottontail hunt
My final project as part of the Motion Designer program at Hyper Island. Production time was 6 weeks. It tells the story about a grown up Alice in Wonderland, trying to assassinate the white rabbit but ends up confronting her creator instead. Alice manages to kill "the monster" and thus freeing the real life child she was based on.
