Dog Barbershop

When a dog groomer leaves his apprentice to watch a client while he goes on an errand, the apprentice makes the biggest mistake: she accidentally shaves a bald spot on the dog's head. The apprentice must scramble to cover up her mistake with the materials in the room before her boss returns.
Process:

Led a team through 4 semesters of production under ArtCenter instruction; established visual language and shape language of the world through character and prop design, and created a comprehensive style guide to maintain consistency across a production team.
