THE ART OF

THE SPITFIRE

WHAT IS
“THE SPITFIRE”?
“The Spitfire” is a short
animation that I am making
that serves to visualise self
growth over time and how
you should never give up on
something just because you
don’t excel at it the first time.

INITIAL CONCEPT

The original idea that lead to

the development of what would
become “The Spitfire” was an
idea for a short about a girl in a
Mad Max type environment who
repairs an old Spitfire so she can
escape that land. While all
concepts from this plan were
dropped this was the start of
the idea about making a film
entered around a spitfire.
