Back in 2018 I set out to make my 2nd short film, diving deeper into storyboarding, simple character illustration and animation. The idea was simple: “Follow someone throughout the day while they are never averting their eyes from their phone.”


I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could blend several environments together just through the usage of continuous animation of the character. By keeping the character mostly in center and only changing the background elements around him I could use his anticipation and follow through to blend the scenes together.
