Endlessly in love with the mundane, I selected "Peace Reigns," a poem by Aaron Cometbus, to be the subject of my animated short. The poem captures all the minute details of an average Brooklyn summer afternoon to transport the reader to Cometbus's side.
I created mood boards, styleframes, and Photoshop assets ready for animation. I combined cel animation with After Effects, and recorded my friend in SCAD's sound room for the voiceover. I used SCAD's sound library to carry out all other sound design tasks.
Below is the mood board I created to focus on the project's style and tone.
