Right Hand Pirate - Animatic (WIP)
A musical animatic, in which a loving housewife tries to convince her tired husband to let her help him on the job!
In the anime One Piece, there are very few couples (and even fewer happy ones), but Capone and Chiffon Bege are the exception! They’re a married couple that are nothing but doting, devoted, and loving to one-another despite the fact that theirs was an arranged marriage. It’s refreshing and adorable to see, but they’re often overlooked by most viewers in favor of more popular characters. I made this animatic because I wanted to play with their couple dynamic. They love each-other, but like any married couple they don’t always see eye to eye.

A Songbird in Arlong Park - Animatic
A musical storyboard exploration of the One Piece character Nami’s backstory, in which she faces off with the fishman Arlong in his lair.
In the original source material, Nami is taken captive by Arlong against her will and forced to join his pirate crew off screen. We, as the audience, only ever see the aftermath of this, in which the people of her village see her Arlong Pirates tattoo and turn their backs on her. I wanted to explore the concept of Nami, after witnessing her mother’s death at the hands of Arlong, seeks him out herself in a very serious (but ultimately futile) attempt to enact revenge. She’s a little girl in a very dangerous, very unfriendly world.
