This project was about growing familiar with jQuery, Illustrator, and different graphic styles. I felt like my initial drawing of Snow White was too “flat design”, but after adding the background and the music, she felt right at home in my film noir interpretation of the classic fairy tale.
At first is was just an animated short film, but the surprise twist was that I had to turn the movie into a game, which messed up my initial characterization of Snow White as a femme fatale, who knowingly seduced the Hunter with her innocence, so she could escape her jealous step mother’s penthouse apartment.
After having turned it into a game with different outcomes, the story ended up either turning her into a damsel in distress (which is guess is also genre appropriate), or a cigarette spokesperson, which wasn’t my intention.
