Dung Love Film 2020
In Dung Love, we join a little beetle and his precious dung ball on a long and treacherous pilgrimage. Puddles become lakes and pebbles become mountains. Our tiny hero braves the towering grass, a searing blacktop highway, and one very hungry bird, all while keeping his smelly cargo safe. Why does he risk his buggy life for a nasty ball of poop? Beyond the littered streets and forest, the beetle uses the dung for an unexpectedly beautiful purpose.
This Lil project was a Thesis Film I worked on, alongside many talented students and artists in my graduation year at SCAD Savannah. Back in 2020. Even during the first wave of Covid and getting used to online classes, I think we all did a pretty good job!
I was part of the visual development team. Helping, with character designs, background work, and concept art.
I also did my part in clean up animation and running our social media.
