Otterwise

Otterwise is a movie I made in 2021 for a school assignment for the masters in animation at AKV St. Joost. It was made animated and painted in Photoshop and put together with camera effects in After Effects. My focus in this assignment was on backgrounds and layout as well as trying out different walk cycles (walking, running, swimming) in a quadruped character design while keeping the story very simple and mostly told through the environments. In 2022 Otterwise was selected and shown at Framed animation festival in Groningen. Music- and sound design was done by Nick Cerniglia.
