2024 Animation Reel

When their living ship Medusae contracts a deadly virus, aliens Sophee and Vendetta must overcome their differences in order to face this strange parasite inhabiting their home.

Scientist Sophee and Stubborn fighter Vendetta face their deadliest challenge yet as a strange new force has begun taking over their ship, leaving them stranded in open space. When they both have different thinking methods for how to deal with this new unfamiliar substance, the two of them begin to make matters worse as their conflict only gives this new antagonist more time to infect the Medusae. Time is essential in this harrowing tale, and both beings are confronted with their greatest inner challenges as they race to heal their dying beast.

2024/2025 Project: Medusae

“Medusae” may feel like a typical monster story with a sci-fi twist, but it truly boils down to the conflict between two contrasting individuals. Sophee and Vendetta have both found themselves on the Medusae for different reasons, but need one another in order to survive the beast that lurks within their home.

“Medusae” is a 3 minute 2D animated film in the works since August of 2024, and is expected to be completed by May of 2025. It combines themes of science fiction with marine biology, as a narrative continuation of an experimental film I did my previous school year at the Kansas City Art Institute.
