Project Statement
Comet is currently in a pre-production stage. The script is finalized, a significant amount of thumbnail work has been done, and we are now in a visual exploration phase for the characters and sets. Working on creating an animatic to validate the story and staging, and finalizing the visual development of sets and characters.
IF YOU'RE A PRODUCER: I'm looking for a producer or a company to help produce Comet and support the search for financing. If you're interested, let's connect and schedule a call, I'd be delighted to pitch and send over the pitch deck with more information and the full script.
IF YOUR'RE AN ARTIST: (3D/2D Artist, Modeler, Rigger...) interested in joining this project, let's connect to discuss working together.
Story Development
Comet follows a three-act structure built around the protagonist's emotional journey — from isolation to self-discovery. The diagrams below map the story's key beats against this emotional arc.
