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.

My primary roles are character design, 2D hand-drawn animation, animation cleanup and compositing. As the character designer and cleanup artist one of my main roles is making sure the style of the characters is consistent throughout the animation.

He is lying on his back facing the camera, wearing a worried and concerned expression on his face.
