AuTUMNTROSS
2024-2025

My senior thesis film!In the midst of a clash between rabbit worker protest and the police, an activist attempts to rekindle her connection with an old childhood friend.This film serves as a love-letter to the civil and workers rights movements of midcentury America.

CONCEPT ART

I worked on this film beginning with concept sketches back in 2023. Eventually it blossomed into an entire film!
Below are several style frames and environment concepts that were illustrated by me! My main motivation has been to see these pieces in full motion one day!

CHARACTERS

Bunnies with a 70s psychadelic aesthetic!Ivory is an activist and musician. A leader of the workers' strike. Her positive and cheerful demeanor is contrasted by her awareness of the danger she's facing.

Harley is a more reserved figure, a musician who did it by the books (Going to college, getting a degree). She comes from a very well-off background, and it can show by just how jumpy she is when facing anything that disrupts her status quo.

Codi is Ivory's second half, a keyboardist who assists Ivory in her protests. They are more reserved and quiet at first glance, though they always have an insightful comment on a situation. Codi is Ivory's rock through and through.

This resulted in seven videos!This project serves as a solid overview my capabilities in Motion Design! Illustrations were done in Adobe Photoshop while the videos were edited in After Effects!MuseScore and REAPER were used in the production of the soundtrack.

ABOUT

How's it going?I go by Pidgin (she/they)I'm a 2D animator and compositor based in Atlanta, with a B.F.A in Digital Animation from Kennesaw State University.My main strengths include traditional 2D animation, video compositing, editing and story-based illustration... Though I'm always pushing myself to learn new processes and mediums!I'm also a theatre kid, an amateur guitarist, fledgling director, and a bit too obsessed with the band They Might be Giants (their music is VERY good okay?)
