SHERGAR
BACHELOR FILM
‘‘Shergar’’a story of Conor, a boy living a fast-paced and free-roaming life with his friends on the streets of Dublin. Though a life without responsibilities is great fun, it can't keep his head above the chaos of his poverty-stricken home. When he is tied between what he should do and what his hectic life pushes him into, he doesn’t always have a good choice to make.

MAKING OF SHERGAR
One year of work, a team of 10, and a banger of a film!
I’ve had the enormous pleasure of working with such a fun team. This project was a great learning experience, teaching me the importance of teamwork and trust within a group. Collaborating with friends on this project showed me how small yet incredibly diverse this industry can be in so many ways. Here, I share with you my process and development of The Making of Shergar.

CHARACTER DESIGNS
I’m sharing some of my character design and development work, including model sheets and Animation Bible sheets. Creating the Animation Bible was a really fun learning experience for me. I was fascinated by designing how a character should move and look. Additionally, it helped me maintain an overview of the project by supervising the animators' work and guiding them to achieve a unified style for the film. Working closely with the director on this task was essential, and it was built on strong communication and trust.
