Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill from iria lopez on Vimeo.
Animatic made for the Jack and Jill project in the first year animation direction at NFTS.

I came up with the idea for the story; a young boy called Jack has an imaginary friend, a butcher. One day his friend is not in the usual place, Jack feels upset and decides to go and look for the butcher. That is how Jack meets his short of new friend, Jill.
For this project i worked in collaboration with Adele Coburn, 1st year script writer at nfts, who helped me to develop the script, and Livia Araujo Serpa, 1st year editor in the same school, together we edit the animatic. I hope to get to make the animation soon.
