Keeping Up with the Olympians
Speed Dating is a proof of concept for a potential episode of an animated series called Keeping up with the Olympians, which is a fake television series pitch that I have been developing for the past year. This episode focuses on Apollo dealing with his feeling out of place while trying to find a new romantic partner in the modern world. Animatics are storyboards with sound and voice acting. This project was used to help grow my skills as a storyboard artist, allowing me to go back and make multiple changes to the story. Although I only have one finalized animatic, I spent the first semester working on a second one as practice to help push Speed Dating to be the strongest version of itself, having three different versions made over the course of the last school year.
