screenshots and youtube link (forthcoming) to my animated short “The Owl and the Grasshopper” for the LOOSE FABLES animation screening at El Cid in Los Angeles, CA on Friday December 1, 2023.
Over 30 animators were invited to select an Aesop’s Fable of their choosing and adapt it for todays time. Put together by the amazing Kat Ball.
My short was made with low poly 3d backgrounds in Blender with the 2d animation drawn directly onto the exported footage, the first time I have used this technique. The 2d animations were conceptualized and finished in photoshop. I then composited everything together in After Effects.
I had a lot of fun with this and learned a lot about my workflow along the way. I am looking to make a longer project with this method - stay tuned!
