RoBert's Reboot (2021)
A lonely robot gets an idea to build a family, but he gets more than he bargained for!
In collaboration with another artist, I was tasked to write and storyboard a script for a short film. Our final delivery was a short animatic and audio-script. In the concept stages, we each worked on storyboarding half the script. I designed the overall look of the robots and setting that was used in the final animation.
*My contributions to this final animatic were building and photoshopping set elements, the black and white cleanups with backgrounds, creating the opening in After Effects, sound editing and mixing, and compiling/editing in Premiere Pro. I also performed the voice of Mom-bot!
