Animated Short “Project Achilles”
Role:  lead producer, storyboard artist, character and environment designer, 3D sculptor and modeler,  3D animator, sound designer and compositor.

The challenge this project posed was trying to tell a story of humanity through a single character who seems to be left in a desolate environment. The character is struggling with the memories he was programmed to hold and the story follows his attempts to come to terms with the absence of humanity but also to invite the audience to reconsider the role we play and what we leave after ourselves as a civilization.

The story is heavily inspired by Xia Jia’s short story “Night Journey of the Dragon-Horse”

Initial storyboard for the project:
