Strawberryessa

3D / Art Direction

Hien Huynh and I co-directed this short film with our team at Studio Moles, a group of friends making fun animations in our free time!

My responsibilities:
– Story & Production Design
– Can, electronic sign, and phone modeling
– Wine bottle, electronic sign, phone, and stairs shading
– 2D eye rig development

See the full Instagram post here, where we collaborated with BART (Bay Area’s public transit system)

Strawberryessa was inspired by our everyday BART commutes around the San Francisco Bay Area. Set in a grocery store aisle, we reimagined transit riders as fruits. This short was made in celebration of public transportation and we hope it brings joy to those who love BART as much as we do.
