In this short film, created during the MA Animation at Escape Studios, a robot helps a man break out from his depression in a post-apocalyptic world.

The following are the shots I animated for the short film:

Before jumping into animation I worked on the storyboard, together with Thomas Alfred Grealis.

Rendering

Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, effects and rendering for the short film weren’t completed. To get an impression of how it would have looked like, I did some renderings of my own.
