Ghosts In Our House

This digitally-drawn, two-minute, 2D animated short film explores the 100-year old fixer-upper farmhouse that my sister and I call home, and the ghosts that we, as children, believed were "living" there with us. The rotoscoped backgrounds were created using footage I filmed while walking through the house. The entire piece was constructed around the audio, which was cut from a recording of my sister and I reflecting on stories of the home’s former residents and our experiences growing up in a place where things didn’t always make sense; with ghosts in our house.

The film was created over the course of a year from 2021 to 2022. It was made using the Procreate app and Adobe Premiere Pro, and utilized techniques of cel animation, 2D computer animation, digital painting, and rotoscoping.
