"Working with Dinosaurs"- 2nd Year Animation Project
What if Dinosaurs never went extinct? What if we evolved along side them as equals? This project is a 'mockumentary' parody of the BBC's 1999 'Walking with Dinosaurs' meant to put that theory to the test. Here you can see our progression over the course of 6 weeks, from concept and design through to final edit.
I was the art director and storyboard artist in a team of 6 students at Escape Studios. A massive thanks to everyone involved!
