HEXED & FEATHERED (2025)
Hexed & Feathered follows an enterprising witch, Tabs, and her anthropomorphic owl friend, Hadwell, as they attempt to scam their local community. However, things don’t go quite as planned; will the duo escape the consequences? Or will a fate worse than death befall them?
Pre-Production Materials
Here’s a collection of pre-production work. While I had a relatively strong idea of what I wanted my film to be, I still had several rounds of reworks to finalize the film’s creative direction. For the most part I wanted a film that was stylistically reminiscent of late 2000’s to 2010’s Cartoon Network, as well as indie web animation. In its totality, I am proud of what I was able to accomplish on a student-budget and timeline.
^ Here are the first story beats I drew when I was first conceptualizing Hexed & Feathered.
