OUTLINE AND STATEMENT OF INTENTION
The story follows Mango, who gathers their siblings to discuss absurd scenarios about their origins. This film explores the concept of home, and reflecting on finding home in both family and close friendships. I aim to enhance my animation skills, improve efficiency in project completion, and develop my dialogue writing to establish strong characterisation early on in the film.
