The Castores Union was a 30 week (Junior-Senior year) film project at DigiPen Institute of Technology.
Inspired by Coelary, it is a 2D animated trailer for a non-existent noir anime film.
I wrote the script and developed the style of the film, including characters, animation, and layouts. I contributed final environments and animation, performed all compositing and post-processing, and oversaw every element of the film to maintain a stylistic consistency across the film's 40 shots.
The style guide is formatted to look like a corkboard covered in evidence about an investigation.

The film is complete and will be posted publicly after being submitted to student film festivals.
Below, please enjoy a 5-page graphic novella written as a prequel to the events of The Castores Union.
