Box Forts was the short film I worked on my last two years as an undergrad. I started off as the art director and then moved on as technical director once I figured out I was extremely good and persistent at solving problems we were having. I also helped out with animating, editing, layout, rigging, compositing, and effects. I learned a lot about creating an animated short but even more about working with a team and meeting tough deadlines. Below are some concept pieces I made for the film.
Here is the color script that I made to direct the lighting change throughout the short and to serve as a reference for how the light changes with different environments.
This is another reference sheet I made for the change in the sky as the film progresses through time and different parts of the atmosphere.
Here is a reel showing some of the work I specifically did on the short.
These are some frames from the short.
