Digital hand-drawn animation: animation software, art software

I started making this animation with the sole intent of making an engaging film. But as I started looking for themes and ideas I realised that I've always used animation as escapism. I would always get lost in the worlds that were in these films. This is what led me to tell a story about someone who uses artificial worlds to escape their issues and fears.

ARTEXPRESS was a joint partnership between The New South Wales Department of Education and NSW Education Standards Authority in association with Hazelhurst Arts Centre.
