Story Reel for Anna & Blitz 

Anna & Blitz:

Talkative money-obsessed Anna & silent hardworking Blitz fly through space on a mission to obtain a rare plant for their sketchy agent Larz. They track it to ‘The Dirt Sea’ a spiraling planet filled with spunky enemies who they must face to reach the planet’s core. The mission however was not what they expected…

I had the absolute pleasure leading the design for our short film. Collaborating with the head of props and puppets to turn my designs into physical objects has been a really exciting experience. Working in all of the different aspects of our film from design, to building, to finally animating, has been a really unique process, which is resulting in a film truly touched by everyone involved.
