The Reaper's Office

3D animated abstract narrative to show a depiction of a daily routine for a grim reaper. It would show it's daily process of going through the paperwork/office, grabbing a quick drink from the office cafe, and eventually pick up souls that have yet to be judged in the drop-off zone.
Learning Outcomes:
While the world was just as important, the character of the grim reaper itself was the element to bring the entire story together. I began to think about the feelings of the reaper, wondering what it would feel like to pickup souls eternally. The result was story where the burden of being the next reaper was gone and was centered on the cycle of boredom and wanting something new in "life".
