Intro

To celebrate the rebirth of a legendary motorcycle, Iron & Air Media wanted to create an animated short film to immortalize the lore of the iconic Suzuki Katana. We helped bring their vision to life. In this project, I helped designed the two main characters, some styleframes and also animated a couple sections.
