Bunchy and the Cookie Dough
2d animation based on a story by Joyce Lankester Brisley. This is my final graduation project at Reykjavik Academy of Digital Entertainment (RADE) at the Technical School in Reykjavik, Iceland. I mostly used Adobe Character Animator for animation, After Effects for animation+compositing, Photoshop for backgrounds and editing all together in Premiere Pro. The art style is originally inspired by children book's illustration from the 1920's and 1930's, with a more painted approach used later in development.
Spring term 2019, school project.
