From storyboard to animatic to previs to final edit, this thesis project was an iterative process. The story and edit were subject to change and improvement every day.
SYNOPSIS-  In Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, 17-year-old Scott Chen dreams of being a photographer but constantly argues about his passion with his practical-minded parents. After Scott and his dad get into an argument, they are forced to recall their past and re-evaluate what's important to them.
