“The Little Red Heart”

This is a short project reimagining the story of Litle Red Riding Hood.


First imagined as a children’s book and then into this short animatic.
















Little Red full of hope and joy, will she make it through the forest or will her light be snuffed out?

W.E.E.E Awareness
W.E.E.E stands for waste of electronic and electrical equipment.
In this collaborative project with KAMPY we started to imagine a short film about just that.
Following “Skunk” as he entertains himself with robot fighting, only to realise the world around him has changed...


   
This in particular is an animatic of the climactic scene where Skunk has realised just how bad things have gotten...but that there is still a chance for redemption.

I had drawn all the characters in this animatic, and KAMPY had done the backgrounds.

W.O.T.E
“What’s so great about community anyway?”

Worm Of The Earth is a story about a less-than-nice boy named Hikaru, who after a complicated series of events realised he wants to change for the better and his journey through that.


This is an animatic of a conceptual anime opening using the song 賛美歌 by The Cheserasera.







<<
Hikaru, our protagonist who goes from judgmental loser with no aspirations to an amature poet! Chanelling his feelings and growing revelations into words on paper.
He might go through many set backs on his long journey but ultimatly... ...he’s happier now.




Ritsu, the deuteragonist and the one who sets Hikaru’s paradigm shift into motion.
He appears calm and patient to most and an enthusiastic otaku around friends.
Not to mention...these two are dating?!
>>







<<
Class Representative, being so cheery and friendly he couldn’t help but take Hikaru under his wing, eventually becoming his closest companion and mentor in the poetry club.









>>
Various members of the poetry club and Hikaru’s classmates. Once Ritsu convinced everyone Hikaru is not that scary,
they all welcomed him with open arms.



<<
Hikaru’s literature teacher.
Because of her persistant kindness and enthusiasm he gains an interest in poetry and excels in her lessons.
 






Hikaru’s homeroom teacher.
When other staff gave up on him this guy didn’t!
He gets rewarded by being Hikaru’s trusted adult figure and a father he never had.
>>

Concept art
Hikaru getting scolded by his teachers:
at the start of the story Hikaru hangs out with a gang of teenagers like him, who spend their time not bothering with academics and bullying others.
Hikaru teaching Ritsu how to ride a bike:
after meeting Ritsu and deciding to change his environment, this is one of the many ways they spend time together.
Hikaru at school trip:
surrounded by classmates in a cozy atmosphere after a day of hard work and fun...he’s never felt better.

“Meteor Impact Fan Anime”


MI Animated is a fan project where I took the story Meteor Impacrt from the game Ensemble Stars and rewrote, scripted, designed, storyboarded and finally keyframed an “animated” version.

Visually inspierd by “The Tatami Galaxy” series direted by Masaaki Yuasa, I aimed to make this as colourful as possible by changing the theme colour for each scene/location.
