The Process

The first step was coming up with a great story. My fall semester was dedicated to developing the characters, the plot, and the setting. Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Speech, Zootopia, and Tangled were just a few of my inspirations for the story of the animation. The plot underwent several revisions and once it was finalized, a script was drafted.

Early Sketches

Storyboards

The first row of storyboards are from the very first draft of the story. This version included a bird graduation, but I later decided to remove this section entirely.

These storyboards are also from another draft. In this version, Bird’s character was angrier and more miserable due to his unhappy past.

Concept Art

Behind the Scenes

The backgrounds and animations were first created in Photoshop and then composited in After Effects. Frame-by-frame animation was used for the making of “Today.”
