This animated short was made as a final year project in cooperation with HTBLVA Spengergasse. Year 2020/21

In the 2D-animated short “Mochi”, the Japanese dessert of the same name symbolizes family and friendship. With a setting in Europe, the story follows a Japanese teenage girl named Milli, who lives with her grandma. Just after Millis grandma is brought to the hospital, she is greeted by her newly arrived neighbor, Nala. To comfort her dear grandma, Milli plans to make Mochi – which her grandma used to make her when she was feeling down – without the slightest clue how.

My Parts in this Project were:
