Wayfarer is a hand-drawn 2D solo-animated short film about a boy named Conjuror who goes on a journey with his companion Cat to find his missing parents.

The film took roughly two and a half years to complete, from pre-production to post-production. The film was animated with a combination of Autodesk Sketchbook, for the rough animation and Adobe Photoshop, for the finalized look. The shots were compiled in Adobe Premiere Pro, and the sound was incorporated through Adobe Audition.

“Wayfarer” is a short animation that engages in an exploration of grief through the eyes of a young boy, Conjuror, and his companion, Cat, as they navigate a journey of loss and discovery. The animation effectively visualizes the five stages of grief, with each stage driving the narrative and visual. There are slight influences of anime in the animation design whilst the focus remains on the emotional journey of love and loss. – Be Epic! Film Fest LONDON
