Christmas Short Film, Picasso Pictures

Short Film, 2016

A poetic Christmas short film created for Picasso Pictures, blending hand-painted watercolour backgrounds with 3D character animation.

I painted every setting by hand in watercolour, creating a soft and dreamlike atmosphere throughout the film. The character was then animated in 3D, creating a subtle contrast between the handmade environments and the digital movement.

This was my first professionally produced short film, and a particularly meaningful project in my creative journey. I loved exploring the quiet, magical feeling of Christmas through watercolour and animation.
