Mafia Mix-Up

Mafia Mix-Up

In 1950’s America, Malcom owes money to the Mafia. If it is not returned today, it could have huge consequences. Chaos is created when there is a mix-up!

This animated short film was produced at Escape Studios in London. This is my directorial debut short film. One aim of this film was to have a music score in sync with the emotions in the piece.

Storyboards created by Austin Hill. These storyboards improved the cinematography of the piece and all of the story beats. Austin has a great understanding of where to put the camera to get the desired feeling from the audience.  

The colour progression from shot to shot. The producer, Manos Zervoudakis composited the film and ensure the consistency between shots.
