Synopsis
Combining functionality and aesthetics to produce a whimsical 2D animated showreel, this project explores the visual elements of whimsy within the medium of 2D animation. Based on the novel “The Wind in the Willows” by Kenneth Grahame, the showreel includes sequences featuring the characters of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad, and the whimsy they experience in their day-to-day lives in the English countryside. This project takes visual inspiration from animated series and films such as Moomin, Over the Garden Wall, and My Neighbour Totoro.
