The Legend of Bill

Created and Directed by Jacob Birmingham:
One Tough Underduck with a Champion Heart of Gold

I served as ART DIRECTOR alongside production designer Kristen Breshears. I worked with the director to create the style of the world based on his desires of Western Movies, Classic Cartoons, and Texan culture. I learned a lot about off-road desert racing and the things that inspired the director to make this short film. The concept was to blend 2D animation and 3D animation, natural painterly textures, line-work and old school film grain. After establishing references for style I then worked with Kristen, who oversaw how our vision could be accomplished by the 3D and 2D designers and artists in our crew.

I also served as a graphic designer, creating branding and world building assets that are crucial to bringing realism to the racing scene.
