Bad City

A dystopian animated proof of concept inspired by Dredd and Blade Runner, this short explores a crime-ridden future where drugs and corruption dominate the cityscape. The story follows a lone protagonist as she navigates and attempts to escape a brutal, high-tech urban hellscape.

Created as a personal project and potential pilot for a future mini-series, this animation was developed as a full end-to-end exercise in short-form storytelling. I focused on pushing my practice into longer format animation, developing the concept through writing, storyboarding, illustration, animatic, and final 2D animation.

The project combines cinematic world-building, dystopian visual storytelling, and stylised motion design to create a gritty, atmospheric animated short film.
