My name is Remi Noonan and I am graduate of the Digital Animation course from TUS Clonmel. I am an animator and storyboard artist with a passion for film-making and stories. For my final year project I decided to create a short film of an original story to showcase my skills knowledge in animation production gathered over the last four years. Beyond the Lighthouse is a 2D animated short film. The film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and follows the protagonist, a thirteen-year-old named Nova, as he explores a supposedly broken and abandoned city in search of food and medicine for his younger brother, Max, who has fallen ill. As he scavenges through, Nova soon discovers that this city isn’t as abandoned as he originally hoped, leading up to Nova attempting to escape the dangers lurking within the city. From a production standpoint, the main focus of this film is on animation, including a particular focus on character animation, some hand drawn 2D effects, as well as additional background animation. This trailer represents the short film I have been working on for the past year and is currently in production. Beyond the Lighthouse is a larger story that I have been working on for the past 7 years and this short film is just a sneak peek into that world. The purpose of this short film is to act as a proof of concept for this story for potential pitches I plan to make in the future for this project.
