2024-2025
My senior thesis film!In the midst of a clash between rabbit worker protesters 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.
Watch the teaser!
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.

ABOUT
How's it going?My name is Quinci Saunders but you can also call me 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.I've always loved character acting and conveying emotion through my animation. I've worked in theatre before for years, and it shows through my love of studying characters and what makes them work!My interests are varied, but currently I have a particular fascination with Pokémon, Survivor, and the band They Might be Giants.What links those three things together? ... I couldn't tell you.
