What’s the difference between
a Cigarette and a Gun?
‘FEAR THE SMOKE!!!’ is an action, coming of age animated short film that delves into the wildly imaginative mind of Robin, a teenage girl who is obsessed with her crush but too afraid to confess. However, one day she is forced to make a decision, can she confess?

Hi!
I have more to share!!!
That’s right!!! I’ve been hard at work on this project since I began turning it into an animated film in September. I am extremely happy to say that it’s all going smoothly, the project is on schedule, and I’m more excited about it than ever!
And, to top it off, I’m super happy to announce that the storyboard is half way complete! It’s filled with very messy drawings, but I'll show off some stuff below anyway.
As a thorough update: I've been working on all kinds of research, adapting the short story into a script, redrafting that script, character redesigns, environment designs, colour and lighting development in After Effects, animation experiments using 3D assets, mixed media experiments and storyboarding! (in case you didn’t know that).
These shots come from the first few minutes of the film.
That’s all for now, I will continue to update this page when I have more fun stuff to share.
Thank you for reading!

FEAR THE SMOKE!!! Is turning into an animation! I’m a student if you didn’t know, I want to focus on my schoolwork and my projects, so FTS!!! is transforming! Don’t worry, it’s the same vision, just with much more freedom.
An update would be boring if it were just that, so please enjoy these early pieces of concept art! I’m hard at work getting things done, so please stay tuned!
More Information coming soon.
Please Stay tuned!
