BIRTHDAY RUSH

This was a challenge as I tried my hand at boarding an episode with my characters, Mago the fennec fox and Ajax the badger. With the simple goal of getting Ajax something for his birthday, Mago plays baker as she attempts to make him the best cake the world has ever seen.

STORYBOARD

The Storyboarding process was lengthy as I ended up sketching out hundreds of frames until finally landing on the 168 that would tell the story. As it was character-focused the sketches were a bit more detailed to make it clear what was background and what Mago was doing.

 

 ANIMATIC

After boarding, I had to see the frames in action through an animatic. Even with limited animation, the animatic manages to tell a charming story with Mago struggling to make that perfect gift. Maybe someday I’ll be vigorous enough to fully animated and refine it.
