Thawed is a collaboration piece between animator Joshua Lewis and me. The project is my original concept, inspired by the Disney movie Frozen. I want to make something that's magical but also comical and light minded. 

We had a blast working on this piece, while Joshua got to explore the cartoony style of animation, I got the chance to break down different layers of multiple magical effects and challenge myself to achieve specific art directions of the pyro and pops' behaviour.
