Synopsis

The fabric of space and time itself is bent when young Flannery O'Conner teaches her pet chicken how to walk backward.

A 3D & 2D hybrid film 

This short film was made to be a potential bumper for SCADs 2020 animation showcase. I contributed to being a producer alongside two other producers Tor Parker and Mike Kachur. My other roles on the short were 3d animator & modeler, texturing, and set-dressing. Working with a medium-size group of talented scad students the director and producers were able to create a workflow around leveling the 3D and 2D workflow.
