2D/3D Animated Project
The City of Gold
An Honours project exploring the idea of a South African identity within narrative animated films. This hybrid project concept was an experiment aimed at finding joint harmony between 2D and 3D design whilst finding a niche that felt South African and had a strong South African identity.
