(coming soon)








SUPERNOVA is an animated short i’m currently developing as a thesis film for college.

it follows the emprisonment and escape of Cassiopeia, a prisioner of a sadistic maestro, forced to keep dancing for entertainment. the Moon, Cassiopeia’s admirer and muse, is forced to watch such terrible demise, unknowingly providing a guiding light to our protagonist.

due to that admiriation, Cassie manages to gather enough willpower to break the chains that hold her in place, but will she be able to truely escape?








this story explores perfetcionism, holding people on pedestals, helplessness as long as burnout.
for this movie, i wanted to embrace a rougher, sketchier look, inspired by live sketching and dance. the main inspirations for the project were the roaring twenties and punk fashion, mixing these two contrasting aesthetics to create a messy yet elegant look.







down below are some concept sketches, as well as some stills from the movie
