Overview
Inspired by classic side-scrolling video games, Chase explored environmental storytelling through layered parallax backgrounds and character animation. Although the character animation remained unfinished due to time constraints, the project successfully demonstrated my understanding of depth, perspective, and environmental movement inside Toon Boom Harmony.

The environment was built using multiple layered backgrounds that moved independently to simulate depth during side-scrolling movement. After completing the environment, I rigged a ninja character using a hierarchy-based puppet system before beginning animation. Although production concluded before the animation reached its intended quality, the project became an important study in layered environmental animation.
