Conceived by a two-man team in 2011 by Joycelyn Ong and I, the Snatcher is a Final Year Project film about an orphaned girl who is one day spirited into a magical circus world where she meets quirky characters and perhaps... her parents? The film is entirely hand-drawn traditionally and was compiled and coloured in Adobe Photoshop, while Adobe Premier Pro and Aftereffects were used to edit and give life to scenes through CGI. 

​

In 2012, the film was submitted for competitions and won Silver at the 2012 Crowbar Awards under the "Film - 2D Animation" category. Meanwhile, it won a Certificate of Merit at the China - Wuhan 2012 World Digital Arts Exhibition Tree.

 

My major roles in the film include character designer (the Villain and Side Characters), lead colourist (Characters and Backgrounds) and scriptwriter. I also contributed to the secondary animation (villain and Side Characters) in certain scenes. Catch the film above!
