His latest project is a social media based series of 40 second shorts called DUCK designed to be viewed on your phone via Instagram. Poor Duck is in constant peril. Each episode he finds himself in a tight spot! He tries to avoid danger by 'ducking' and jumping only to find himself in a new desperate situation as each episode ends with a cliffhanger. Will designed, animated and enjoyed creating the original music for this comic series.
