Tiger
Year: 2019
Duration: 1 min
A tiger accidentally interferes with some tribal ritual.
TIGER is a personal music video project that doubled as my application film for Salzburg University of Applied Sciences. This short animation is a tribute music video to one of my favourite musical artists, Animal Collective! It was also my first time getting back into animation since experimenting with the medium as a child and made me decide to pursue this path professionally.
