"Pretty Kitty" was my Graduation Capstone Film from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
It tells the story of Kasey, an amusement park mascot actor who one day loses their job and struggles to leave their old identity behind.
​
Pretty Kitty is a psychological horror that utilizes a wide array of animation mediums including 2D, 3D, Stop Motion, and more to push the collage-like visuals of this film. I saw a lack of horror in the animated medium, so it was my goal to add a fresh, new nightmare into the mix.
​
I pitched the original concept, directed this film's team of 8 and created the film's unique hybrid pipeline. I served as the Lead 2D, 3D, Stop Motion Animator, and Compositor, as well as the Screenwriter, A Storyboard Artist and Editor. I also built and managed the film's personal social media page and created advertising material for the film.
