March of Lonely Fortunes

In this short film, a lone figure rides across an unforgiving and arid landscape in pursuit of a far-away bounty. This
journey presents her with many threats, from her natural surroundings as well as the ruthless opportunists it attracts.

Project Objectives

My main objective with this project was to focus on developing my animation work. This aimed to include improvements to my technique, as well as efforts to boost my efficiency. This development, I hoped, would allow for more freedom to create animated works in a self-sufficient way, and to be able to better translate my ideas straight to screen.

Project Outcomes

I am left satisfied that I have furthered my animation abilities. I now feel an increased confidence in my skill level going forward, and can now better envision a strategy to tackling future projects with this in mind. I feel as though I have developed to the degree that I can comfortably engage with new personal projects in my own time, which was my main goal.
