"Quest for the Key" is a short student film directed by Katherine Nowak in Fall 2020 - Spring 2021 as part of SCAD's animation program. It is about a small elf named Elfis who is timid and frightened of the world outside his small home. However, after his precious house key is taken away from him by a giant fish, he must confront his fears and take a journey into the forest in order to get it back.

I acted as a 3D character animator on the project, overseeing several animated shots and working with the director and producers to create well-polished character animations for the film. The shots I worked on, as well as some process work for each, can be found below!
