  • BEACON: QAS Lockdown I

    BEACON: QAS Lockdown I

    Created over May Long weekend 2020.

    An anonymous alien is abruptly awoken from cryostasis by a beckoning sound. They follow it through the galaxy, surprised by what they find.

    I love the Quickdraw Animation Lockdown as a way to pump out a complete animation full with sound and local music.

    It was first time compositing Procreate and After Effects for an animated film and I haven’t looked back!! It’s become a staple method for animating.
