Concept
A short film we made as an independent project, Midnight Catch. It was decided by the team and me to give it a traditional artistic look. With this in mind, we used a digitally rendered painting texture with a 3D background. This was a mix of a team building and directing work as this required a lot of planning and working well with a group of nine members.
The story is a feeling of connection that the fisherman feels when he glimpses a cat in the post-apocalyptic world scavenging for simple fishes.
The storyboarding phase was vote based and the story was altered by the group's decisions unanimously
These were the character designs that were finalised
Prop designs that were finalized

Conclusion & Credits
A lovely cat-inspired short by our Group that made me good friends in the city of Detroit.
