Dream Cabinet
2D Animation | March 2025- May 2025 | Animator, Narrative Design
Dream Cabinet is a group project created for my Interactive Animation class. Each animation represents a dream (or nightmare) that our character (and group member) Ronguha has after falling asleep. The project is interactive, as the user can choose each dream Ronguha has.
For our project, we wanted to do something contradictory to the project title, and animate our character having strange, nightmare-like dreams where objects in the room come to life. I decided to animate a stuffed animal rapidly growing in size to fill the whole room, and started by storyboarding my concept and creating an Animatic.
Initial Story Board
Animatic
After creating my inital animatic, the animation felt incomplete. I added a few more frames to show what happened to the stuffed animal after outgrowing the apartment to help wrap up the narrative.
