Wait For Me
Wait For Me is a 2D animated short that I made with Toonboom Harmony, Photoshop and After Effects. For my 4th year project I wanted to create a project that showcases my skills and would work well as a portfolio piece. I also knew I wanted to create a story focusing on animals as I really enjoy creating animal characters and creating the animation for them.
The film is about two wolves that are pups at the start of the film. The first pup; Robin is alone at the beginning and looking for a friend. She meets Jay and they quickly become friends, the seasons change around them and they grow up together. Jay who is faster and stronger at the beginning makes sure to always wait for Robin to catch up but one day Robin outruns Jay and does not care to wait for him. Jay ends up stepping in a hunter’s trap leaving Robin alone and contemplating that she should have waited for him too.
