Go Far. Close to Home.

Mountwest

Cradled in the mountains of West Virginia, Mountwest Community & Technical College offers guidance toward new careers and inspiration to help along the way. The College asked for an anthem video that could connect with potential students within the state.


This project began with Clara drawing on her experiences growing up in WV. Her script captures the ideals of perseverance and hope. It laid a foundation for the beautiful illustrations and animation woven throughout the video.

With open hearts and a lens focused on education, we share these project files and details with you, our community, so that you may glean from them something inspirational.


Or tell us how we could have done it more efficiently! We hope our project files may help you in your pursuit of design, animation, and art; but we ask that you respect the artist in these files. In the brush strokes, in the layers of texture, and in each keyframe, sits a person who labored and agonized over their art. So, please use these for educational purposes and steal only the wisdom behind them not the content or ingredients.

Please. Thank you. And godspeed.
