This is my contribution to the 2021 edition of Titmouse Inc’s 5 Second Day, NIGHTLIGHT.
It’s an idea I’ve had kicking around for a while now, with hints of all the things I’ve really enjoyed over the course of this last year. A world where a cosmic calamity causes the worlds of dreams and reality to meld together, and the humans that now have to live in the spaces between the two. Like... The Sandman meets the SCP Foundation meets Madoka Magica.
This was done entirely in Storyboard Pro except for a few photoshop assets, so it's basically a colorized animatic. In the future, I’m gonna try and refine this idea, amp up the boards and the cinematography, and get it animated with real bgs. HOPEFULLY.

Short animated film by Jackie Droujko & Antonio Caggiano. Sequel (maybe prequel?) to our first collaborated short film, Space Date. We made this film for Titmouse's 2020 annual "5 Second Day".
So the other day my friend @edwardnortonhands hit me up and asked me if I wanted to make an animation with him. I admitted to him that I am not really adept at animation but wanted to learn more of how to do it. He wanted to learn as well. So we agreed to spend a day teaching ourselves the ropes. Im proud to say that after 11 hours spent on sunday fueled only by beer and coffee we present to you DJ Jim Collins. We hope you like it. #cartoon #animation #aftereffects #digitalart #digital #art #funny #voiceover #editing #dj #prom #5secondday https://www.instagram.com/p/BvKF6Higfh4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=198gqlfx6dt3j

Model sheet and concept art for my 5 Second Day film: The Garden Knight!
Always fun to look back and see how you ended up at the final product. There's actually more to this particular process that I'll share in a future post, so look forward to that!
Some gifs from my upcoming short film tentatively titled “When I Met Mr. Miyazaki”, made for this year’s 5 Second Day at Titmouse! I make no guarantee that it’ll be good, but I CAN guarantee that it’ll be ridiculous. Should be online soon!
THE OTHER is a digitally animated film from Titmouse’s 5SecondDay2018.

Happy to share my 5 Second Day film I got to make at Titmouse this year! I consider this a work in progress so hopefully I can keep working on it during my free time.
