My favorite part of working on animated films is getting to help with the color script, which is a narrative roadmap that helps to guide the color & lighting choices throughout the story. Here is my exploration work for some of the later sequences in the film Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender.

When @chuwenjie.bsky.social first showed us a draft of this, it took our breath away. Communion as recall, affect, and artifice. A ritual. A summoning. A memory of our past work. Thank you, Kat 🥹
