Senior Film: Boys by the Sea

When I started coming up with concepts to do my senior film, No gag would stick with me,

and nothing that was short and flashy would stick with me either.


I knew I'd be working on this film for almost a year, so I wanted it to be something I could put my heart into. So I chose this.

Through this experience I learned many things, and tried my hand at a lot I've been wanting to work on. This film probably won't be in full color unless I'm able to find a group of people willing to work on it with me. But I'm fine with that. I was able to go through the process of developing ideas, scripting, draft, concept art, storyboards, animatics, laying out scenes, dealing with backgrounds, and directing music/scenes with other people. Plus I got to work at telling a story with no words.

I knew this was an ambitious project when I took it on, but I couldn't tell any other story except this one. I hope that you're able to connect with it in some way, because I know everyone has their own stories. For now I'm moving on, but I would like to revisit this in the future.
