Venatrix
The project is Venatrix and is co-directed and created by myself and Arianna Coore-Mungo. Venatrix is a fantasy-based 3D and 2D animated show teaser trailer that follows characters Kace and Jayde through their adventure walking home from a forest lookout when they come across a creature that is much more than it first appears. This teaser trailer showcases and follows the start of the story, is a piece from a longer pilot episode, and gives an idea of the world of Venatrix and what unfolds here.
It was a team effort and showcases the implementation of 2D animation in a 3D environment. Venatrix tells a unique story and we wanted to create a show for an older audience who love animation but can’t find a story that they can connect with. It includes elements of fantasy, university life, sibling bonds and uncovering the truth about a hidden world. We see elements of the larger story within the teaser film, and showcase a little of what Venatrix is about.
