Georgia Noble and Marnala Dent created, Off the Grid, a 2D animated short. The two SAE animation students chose to use the Toon Boom Harmony application to bring the project to life.

Marnala reflected on the project, “Because of my inexperience, I underestimated just how much time it would take to animate every frame and I fell behind towards the end of the trimester. There are some things I ran out of time to do such as animate the waterfall and add shading to some shots.”

But as she also mentions, “Being my first major 2D [animated project and]…. considering it was my first time, I think I did a good job.”
