Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese culture has 12 zodiacs corresponding to 12 different animals. This project’s theme will introduce the 12 zodiacs via 2D animation format. Then, I will give each animal a corresponding character design based on my understanding of them and my cultural knowledge.

This will be a 3-minutes trailer-like animation, and each zodiac will appear in the scene according to the character’s setting. For instance, the rabbit’s scene is about collecting herbs because he is a herb doctor.

Some zodiacs may interact, but more are likely to pass by. The whole animation will give the audience a sense of they all live in the same area, but each zodiac has its own life and career.
