Into the Sunset

Directed by Megan Cockcroft

Animation directed by Mikael Trench

Created for a 24-hour challenge by Turner Studios, we assembled a team to develop a short 15-second bumper from concept to finished product to promote a spaghetti western movie marathon hosted by Turner Classic Movies. Director Megan Cockcroft brings her one-of-a-kind style and perspective to craft this lesbian love story.

The project utilized cardboard cutout puppets composited onto traditionally water-colored backgrounds to keep a handmade, tactile quality. Animated using DragonFrame and composited in Adobe After Effects.
