I created a stop motion sequence and title design for How’s Archie, a short film about a couple who must navigate co-parenting their dog Archie, after they breakup. The film is currently in the festival circuit, if you’d like to see the animation please message me :)

The Archie puppet was a custom build, made using wire armature, foam body, and real hair for the coat. The final dance animation was captured frame by frame using Dragonframe. Process film coming soon!
I also created title and credit designs for the film. The intent was to create a feeling of intimacy, something that felt classic, warm and familiar, to reflect the film’s themes. For the credit sequence, the director Jessie wanted to include drawings of Archie alongside the cast and crew’s names.
