Tib The Adventurer
I was the co-director, alongside Lami Dooley, on "Tib The Adventurer". Tib was a student film idea that we joked around about since the beginning of 2nd year in college. The thesis of the short was to take feelings that we had about our lives and direct them at this silly looking cat. Besides co-directing, I was also able to try my hand towards storyboarding, rough animation, character design, background design, composition and editing - all of which was incredibly challenging but rewarding.
These are a handful of backgrounds that I completed for our student film
