Transit
Transit is a short film about two characters facing off on a train. The film is a culmination of my skills in 2D hand-drawn animation, and compositing. I wanted to challenge myself to create a tense atmosphere that eventually builds into an action sequence. I prioritised character animation with this film though I dabbled in effects animation.
I thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with this project through its pacing, animation techniques, aspect ratio and compositing. Producing this project with industry software such as Harmony, After Effects, Photoshop, and Maya, highlights my knowledge and technical capabilities for future employers.
I learnt the importance of timing, cuts, angles and posing concerning a fight sequence and I hope it translates in the film. Transit aims to intrigue viewers and encapsulate the adrenaline during a fight through a slow build.
Transit was my favourite project to work on, and I’m happy to call it my graduate film.
