A BA(Hons) Animation final year project (Sept 2012 – May 2013). This is a short film I co-directed and project managed, about an arrogant Crocodilian Hunter who is looking for the legendary 'Krokodi swamp creature'. This creature turns out to be a were-crocodile called Dee who works in her burger van in the city by day (even the legendary 'Krokodi' needs to earn a living) and returns to her home in the swamp by night. When Dee and the Hunter meet, comedic chaos ensues...
