IN THE HOUSE OF PAPER FLOWERS
This 7-minute short film done for Anita George has won several accolades in animation festivals all around the world. I was thrilled to lead this project because to anyone who knows me, I have an undying love for cats and a certain fondness when it comes to the theme of mortality. This project was a poetic piece of work and the score that accompanied it tied the whole thing together beautifully.
Thanks to the guidance of Black Math's Creative Director Jeremy Sahlman,
I was able to push my limits on the style and create a unique look in the end!
