Statement

Two astronauts left after the death of earth must face a daunting question. Do they give in to despair, or cling to survival and dare to hope there may be someone out there?

Red, a headstrong but emotionally driven scientist, tries desperately to push off their fate, diving into his work to avoid facing their circumstances.

Navy, a quiet and reflective presence in the ship, illustrates to keep the memories of the people and places he loves alive.

As they bond in their place of work, they begin bonding outside of it too. Sharing stories at their dinner table and helping each other through a situation neither understands how to deal with. They grieve together, heal together, and dance hand in hand at the end of time.

I primarily specialise in 2D Hand Drawn Animation. My role on this project is to animate the majority of the rough animation, and give notes, aid and edits to my other teammates on how to improve their animation or get the best possible result. I am also in charge of keeping track of the animation schedule, what scenes need to be prioritised, and allocating different scenes to each artist depending on complexity and skill level.

  • Mid shot of a man with long blonde messy hair laying in bed in a dark room. He wears a worried expression on his face. To the right of the frame, lying on the floor next to the blonde man, is another man with dark coloured hair and a beard. He is lying on his back facing the camera, wearing a worried and concerned expression on his face.
