This animation is about the main character Julia her awkward relationship with saying goodbye and the many absurd but relatable ways this awkwardness manifests and transforms throughout her life.
For this short film I get to animate all the character animation, which is no small task. Though it is a lot of fun to get to animate the constantly swinging and spinning camera which I honestly feel like I am a perfect fit for since one of my best abilities is rotating objects in my mind. The film also has a very fun atmosphere and is well storyboarded by Julia Veldman, making the whole production feel like a well oiled machine making steady process towards the finish line.
