COMING SOON!
A MAP (Multi Animator Project) style short film Directed by Jesse Heriot. Created with the volunteer efforts of animators from all across the globe!
“Starfall” follows a young falling star on a journey to find a place to call home.
The team was each given one shot to animate and a lot of creative freedom to stylize our shots as we pleased. Diverging from the style of work I’ve done in the past, I created a soft, lineless, more cartoony style to animate in. I put a lot of focus on body mechanics and posing when animating this shot, shooting reference footage as opposed to acting out the motion like I’ve done in the past.
