You ever feel like finishing work, taking off all your clothes and running naked into the woods? Oh… urm, me neither.

I did spend a year at Vancouver Film School making a short film about it, though.

Quittin’ Time was my final project and a real labour of love. I took on every aspect of the production, from the initial storyboards and animatic through to character design, background design, animation, compositing and final delivery.

The characters were created using a combination of Harmony rigs and hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation, with everything designed, built and animated from scratch.

With the characters designed, I then built the world around them, developing the layouts and drawing and painting the backgrounds for each scene.
