For the past two years me and my friend Sam Taylor have been working weekends, evenings and nights to make this animated 2D short film. WIth no budget a lot of help from our talented and generous friends we’re finally able to put it online. This marks the second film to come out of The Line studio. It’s time to let this baby out in the wild.
A little film I contributed animation and cleanup to. A drop in the ocean of work that Bjorn and Sam put into this but I hope it helped.
Fantastic work guys! Go check it and turn your monitor portrait for the full experience!
I learnt to animate on this film, back in my second year at the AUB in 2011.
It turns out animating is a lot of patience. I… didn’t have much patience back then so the director did the crazy bulk of the work while I fled to Spain.
I took 30 original storyboard frames and expanded them out to 170 frames for the animatic above. The finished thing is now airing in Irish cinemas and TV. Happy holidays!

This is a drawing from Al Khoud - a suburb of Muscat known for housing students of the illustrious Sultan Qaboos University (SQU). Like most student towns, catering to food on a budget is often appreciated.
Completed, scanned, archived, and uploaded. Another book down. This one took the longest (13 months for 118 pages) since I started these books and is not drawn entirely from life.
Sitting around a cafe or two, chatting with friends; Libyan fighters, Boredom in Belgium, 367 Belgian FN F2000 rifles’s ending up in the war, Arabian Wolves, and a road trip across the middle east.
Dang, almost got that rifle right. Drawn from memory as there is no internet at my place. In the old days, how did people draw?
