No Bear Left Behind

About:

My role in this project is to create the initial visual direction for the film so that my friend Camelia Tra Pham can develop further. This is a collaboration of my watercolor style with Tra's flexible digital drawing style.

The short animation won a People's Choice Award at the Smiley CFA Charity Film Awards 2023. Image copyright belongs to Animals Asia.
