ABOUT THE SHORT
A tiny western ballad about dust, rails, guitars, and a blue-suited bandit with questionable escape skills. Created as part of Ariel Costa’s workshop The Art of Making Cool Sht*, based on a brief by Patrick. The piece became a 10-second cinematic experiment in mixed-media animation, mixing collage textures, miniature western landscapes, and a guitar-driven train robbery mood.
✦ How I work✦
Brief → Moodboard → Styleframes → Animation → Final Polish
Moodboards help me lock the visual language before animating: color, texture, scale, references, and cinematic framing.
For Blue Bandit, they shaped the western miniature world and the final mixed-media look.
