Iced (Winter 2021)

During my 2D Animation Pipeline class (ANIM 372), my film idea - entitled Iced - was chosen by the class to be produced, boarded, and animated. The story follows Spencer, a professional hockey player who'd recently returned home from travelling with his team. He wakes up after hearing the clanking of dishes in the kitchen, and thinking it's an intruder, he sneaks out, ready to attack, only to find out that it's his boyfriend, Rory, is making him a welcome home cake. The four smaller videos are the four scenes that I animated and the larger one is the full film. Not only did I direct and animate for this film, but I was also a character designer, background artist, and prop designer. If you want to see some of that, please click here.
