Hayley Wong
Recent obsession of mine is the new Disney show Owl House I have been keeping up to date with each episode as it has been released.
I’m so impressed with the fluid 2D animation in this, character designs and the plot.
I decided to look further into some of the talent behind the work starting with the story boards.
Some of the favourite work I have seen comes from Hayley Wong. She manages to capture Drama and movement so easily in her work. This scene in particular from the Episode “Hallow Mind” show cases really good knowledge of fabric physics and follow through. The work is so clean and thought through, the key animators and inbetween artists and left with very little room for error.
Another part of her work that impresses me so much is the emotion and the expressions. The character designs themselves have so much individuality to them and yet are so simple but even then getting these character to express such real sadness is impressive. I feel actually connected to scene and this episode in particular is a roller coaster of emotions and plot points.
