Along with an entire class of 11 people lead by a mentor, I helped creating a complete animated movie from scratch. After each of us had written a story, the story of one of my classmates was selected to realize with the entire class.

This was a collaborative assignment of 6 months where we as a team had to meet each week to keep everybody in sync. We used the schools in-house developed pipeline software to distribute the shots over the students.
