Dragon Rider

A young woman ends her shift at the yarn store and hurries to meet up with her dragon for a ride.

My goal was to make a simple but happy story that focused on the positive relationship between these two characters and the beautiful world the story is set within.

I took inspiration from Edwardian fashion and the aesthetics of Studio Ghibli.

The Animatic

An animatic is a sequence of images edited together with sound to show how a scene will flow in motion before you put all the time into animating it.

This allows you to make adjustments, cut or add scenes and ensure the music is a good fit.

Here you can watch the final animatic version of Dragon Rider, before I animated it.
