Picture Book
"Kat and Doug have a plan: to love each other forever and open their bakery. To achieve this, they spend their days making cupcakes in their kitchen, but when the oven explodes, they must find other jobs and postpone their dream. As time passes, their ambitions will change, as will their relationship. Will they manage to open the bakery and find their way back to each other?
Fernanda Frick, author of the graphic novel "Trazos," narrates a story overflowing with heart about loving what we do and not giving up on our dreams. "Here's the Plan" is an adaptation of the award-winning short film of the same name, awarded "Best Children's Short Film" at the Valdivia Film Festival and "Best Chilean Short Film" by the Chilemonos Animation Festival. Additionally, it was selected by multiple international festivals and pre-selected for the prestigious Oscar award."
I had a wonderful time working on the picture book adaptation of my animated short film "Here's the Plan". The book is 62 pages long and fully illustrated in color. I created the illustrations using a mix of painted-over renders from the original CG backgrounds and brand new character art for each page.
It was published by Planeta Chilein 2023, and I self-published the English edition as a PDF.
