For my senior project I created, directed, animated, and scripted, an animated cartoon. My intent was to release “Eastern Coast Raid & Plunder” as an animated adult cartoon comedy on YouTube. The plot of the animation follows Jack and two crewmates who stole a pirate ship. They needed the vessel in order to go on a quest across the ocean to find Captain Sulley’s lost treasure. The story continues on as they get closer to an island and embark on their adventure.
Watching cartoons when I was younger always left me with laughter and inspiration. I would often draw the characters I enjoyed watching. This made me realize that I am capable of making a cartoon of my own. Cartoons are a great way of storytelling, and they allow my imagination to flow. I had started creating characters that are based off of my friends. Then I created fictional characters with my friend and collaborator Jacob Lymberopoulos. The goal of this video is to entertain young adults, with comedic jokes, and characters to inspire them.
