Monster in Halls

This is a sequence I storyboarded for a short film made during a Women In Animation Mentorship Circle, led by Pramita Mukerjee.

The story is about Xavier being bored while taking a test when suddenly a monster bursts into the classroom, ready to cause destruction. Xavier fights off the monster, only for a giant troll to enter, and just as the troll is about to hit Xavier with her club, they wake up. It turns out Xavier fell asleep during the test; Xavier dreamt up the entire fight and is now confronted by their less-than-pleased teacher in an empty classroom.

Kelly Smyth wrote the story.
The teacher was designed by Savannah Arias, and Chloe Mangiafico designed Xaiver.
The classroom was designed and modeled by Magalie Bou Abboud.

A fish out of water looks for companionship at an aquarium, only to find it in someone he didn't expect.

A bombastic and educational children’s cartoon about a magic cat named Biff, the science-loving girl Jamie, her best friend Mateo, and an ogle of energetic Ologies.

This potential TV show aims to teach kids about the world around them in a fun and entertaining way. Hopefully inspiring a love of science and discovery in the next generation.

Characters

A lonely fish dreams to escape his tank and fly among the birds. However, he must contend with his fish family trying to stop him and an imposing shadowy cat that lurks outside the tank.
