When The Walls Come Down
2D Animation
<When The Walls Come Down> is a dance performance created by Dance Novella, Local Contemporary Dance Company in Vancouver and inspired by Caroline Hébert’s life story sheds light on stereotypes and difficulties that Deaf Canadians may face. It was presented via livestream for the 2022 Vancouver International Dance Festival.
The project goal was to create animated sequences which was shown in the middle of the performance. As a storyboard artist and a graphic designer on the project, I was responsible for clear storyboard, developing the concept and the character, and creating visual assets.
