RAVEN | A COMING SHORT FILM PROJECT / by Mansuo Zhang

LOOKING FOR COLLAB WITH LONDON-BASED ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS!  

I had this concept in mind back in my final undergraduate year in 2017, but unfortunately, I didn't really have time to make the actual animation, but have only created the storyboard out of it. This short animation film is named "Raven", which is a fairytale love story inspired by the movie "In Bruges". 

I submitted this rough concept as one of my future projects along with my other submissions to UAL last year, and now I am looking forward to developing it further as soon as I start my program this Fall in London with UAL. The project will be involved with Illustration, Character Design, Sound Design, Fashion Design, and Film. 

The video below is a very rough storyboard that carries through the entire "Raven" concept while the final short film is planned to have 3 episodes:  Love, Tragedy, Faith. The final format will be frame-by-frame animation. 

I am sharing it as an open collaboration to those who would love to be a part of this project, and there will also be an art collection named the same as the film coming at the end of next year. Drop me a line at hi@jimmyreckless.com if you're down and I will provide you with more details and a project brief.
