Here’s my entry for the Contra × Melius challenge ✨
“DragonDash” — a fun animated short about a cute dragon delivery rider in a fantasy medieval world.
Built using AI storytelling, storyboarding, and cinematic visual development.
One thing I really enjoyed while using Melius was how visual and iterative the workflow felt. Being able to build and refine shots step-by-step made it much easier to shape the story, mood, and cinematic direction of the short.
i'm currently travelling the southern hemisphere, so I've been picking up loads of beautiful boarding passes, tickets and receipts from everywhere I've been.
this morning i worked on these collaged animations in photoshop, inspired by the collection of receipts growing in my wallet + by this lovely holographic ticket animation by SHIROTA.
lots of texture + type always make for the prettiest animations.
