When a simple whiteboard doodle becomes alive and sentient, it interacts with its creator and hilarity and mishaps ensue. Playtime is cut short, however, as a mysterious evil being suddenly springs in with only one intention: to bring chaos and destruction. It is now up to the doodled hero to save the day.
Artist’s Statement
One of my favourite pastimes is doodling, but I’ve scarcely tried animating my drawings. In addition, I have always wondered how it would be like if I could interact with my own creations. With stop-motion filming, I am able to bring these figures to life and interact with them like I always envisioned. This is the second time I’ve experimented with a concept like this, and with a whiteboard, I could showcase more interesting ideas.
