Bush Plane

"Bush Plane" is a story about Rufus, a man visiting his mother for the first time since she moved to Alaska. Flying Rufus to his mom's cabin is Mel, a boisterous "bush plane" pilot. The result? A wacky action adventure / comedy.
I wrote the script, designed the characters and setting, and created the final animatic using Toon Boom Storyboard Pro.
