A short about a child and stuffed animal who face a frightening monster.

An animated ending for Barestage's spring 2021 production Las Pajaritas, where Taylor is walking out of her apartment as a small bird flies away into the sun.
I worked with two very talented artists to construct this animation: Anny Wu storyboarded and animated the bird, and Fiona Oh created the background and concept art. I animated Taylor and composited the animations with the video footage.

A very crude draft of mine. After composing over the Sesame Street Rubber Ducky song to add some spook, I edited together two videos of rubber ducks in my backyard under various lighting.
