Moth Mart

In the sleepy town of Point Pleasant, a local convenience store clerk with a nervous disposition is clearing out after dark when the unexpected arrival of the mysterious MothMan threatens to turn his night into a customer service nightmare.

Process:

Created multiple storyboard panels establishing shot composition, camera movement, and character acting. Designed original characters and props to support narrative tone and visual continuity. Collaborated closely with the director to revise sequences based on feedback. Produced rough and clean-up animation using Toon Boom Harmony within a structured production pipeline.

Learning Outcomes:

This was my first real team project, and I had to learn how to communicate clearly with the team to keep the workflow going smoothly since we had a deadline for this project.
