ABOUT
Juniper (2018) is a short film about a young woman who wakes up a ghost. I wanted to explore the relationship between urbanization and nature, and how the textures of signs, street lights, and density differ in juxtaposition to simplistic landscapes and natural phenomena.

PROCESS
I've always been interested in themes regarding spirituality and transformation, and wanted to create a story based on the transitory period of an afterlife.
I started writing the script for Juniper last May, and wanted to continue to improve my skills in design, character animation, but most importantly storytelling.
The majority of the work was spent modeling and texturing the backgrounds, the urban scenes especially. Rendering each shot took around 10-15 mins per frame, 500 hours total. Special thanks to the very talented Elizabeth Saydah!
