D.M.V DESTRUCTION (2021)
D.M.V Destruction (2021) is a collaborative film that I had the opportunity to direct during the fall semester of my third year at SVA about two high schoolers that try to beat each other at who can get their driver's license first.
As a director, I led the creative vision of the film from the beginning to the end of production along with giving attentive feedback to each team and co-leading with our film's production coordinator to manage multiple departments together.
Along with directing, I also storyboarded sequences along with animating.
My storyboards for the film can be seen here.
PROCESS
For our 3rd-Year Animation Workshop class, my class was asked to create pitches for our group film and these were sketches from my initial pitch!
Designs of the characters weren't concrete here and were drastically changed during pre-production by our Character Designers, Lu Mikan and Emily Zullo.
More about my directing experience can be seen here from SVA's Junior Jammies Panel, where our film's production coordinator, Beth Keough, and I got to speak at.
