Project Description:

2D animated short for Animation Club’s summer 2025 Animation Jam. The theme of the jam was break and me and my partner redesigned one of my original characters for this project. I created a rough animatic in Adobe Animate and passed the first an last shot off to my partner to animate. I animated the second shot then edited the final shots together in Adobe Premiere Pro.
