Into the Sunset

Directed by Megan Cockcroft

Animation directed by Mikael Trench

Created for a 24-hour challenge by Turner Studios, we assembled a team to develop a short 15-second bumper from concept to finished product to promote a spaghetti western movie marathon hosted by Turner Classic Movies. Our talented director and my good friend, Megan Cockcroft, brought her unique sensibilites and perspective to craft this lesbian love story.

The project utilized cardboard cutout puppets composited onto traditionally water-colored backgrounds to keep a handmade, tactile quality. Animated using DragonFrame and composited in Adobe After Effects.
