Turning A New Leaf
"Turning A New Leaf" is a musical thesis short film that follows the whimsical journey of two theater club members. After being cast as trees in the school play, Hazel must convince Willow that every role is important - even the background trees! All aspects of the film except audio were created by Isabelle Hibbard.

These are design iterations my characters Willow and Hazel went through during pre-production.
These are the final character models used in the film.
Environment and Prop Work
Animation Process |
Here's a look at how one of my favorite shots was made. Starting with reference videos and animatics, "Turning A New Leaf" went through many, many iterations before the final film was finished.
This is how the ending shot in looked animatic, layout, lighting passes 1 to 2, and final comp form.
I hope you enjoyed the show! Making this film was quite the educational experience, and I'll miss working with my silly tree girls. If you want to see more of my work, come find me on LinkedIn or my website!
