Big Sky: Scene 3 (2023)

As the Stop motion Storyboard/Animatic Intern, I worked alongside Ruth Bauer and Blyth Hazen with developing the storyboard and animatic for Scenes 3-4 of the stop motion short, Big Sky.

Big Sky is a stop motion collaboration between Ruth Bauer and Blyth Hazen. This animated short is a coming of age story about a young artist living in Texas in the 1960s. Both Ruth and Blyth grew up in Texas, and both left as young adults. But Texas never left them. The characters and the stories in Big Sky are amalgamation of their own childhood experiences dealing with religion, race, beauty, the landscape and horned toads.

The first two of seven scenes are under production. More information and images from the production process can be found here: https://www.blythhazen.com/big-sky/
