The Song of Wandering Aengus is a short animated film created by myself and a fellow videographer and animator, Kristen Malanchuk. The goal of this project was to create a cohesive piece that worked to accentuate the animation style. Together, we animated a poem by William Butler Yeats, The Song of Wandering Aengus. We took apart the poem’s main elements and theme to create the final product.

The experience left us with a film that greatly encapsulated a love lost. The fleeting moments of time as their moments together lead to their end. All this was achieved through the intricate composition, the locations of the shots, the mood created with the editing, and the choice of music.

This film is a testament to our greatest strengths combined. We worked as a team to create a piece that both captured our own sense of style and individualism, while enhancing each other’s skills. Together, we were able to create a piece of work that showcased both are talents and an end product that we are both extremely proud of.
