YAKANA - Thesis Film

YAKANA - Thesis Film

Project Overview

YAKANA is an upcoming LCAD thesis film made by Nick Haymond.

Taking place in 1800s rural Korea, a young fox’s life changes when her mother gets hunted down. After following the hunter who took her mom, she enacts revenge.

YAKANA is expected to be completed and submitted to festivals by May 2026. I am looking for a few roles to work with from October-March.

WHAT ARE THE ROLES?

I am currently looking for:

  • BG ARTISTS (PRIORITY) who love to draw natural looking backgrounds and buildings in a painterly style.

  • HUNTER SFX VOICE ACTOR - The mean hunter needs a burly voice as he’s fending off Yakana!

  • CLEAN-UP ANIMATORS who are willing to translate the rough animation to look consistent and great!

WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME?

This is an UNPAID/volunteer role since this is a student made film. All roles will be properly credited and involved in the film making process. A discord server will be created to keep things organized and to properly communicate with the team.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Professional Experience is NOT required! I am going based on talent. If your work looks good and you’re capable of meeting the file qualifications, then you are eligible into working for Yakana.

  • Film/Team experience is preferred, if you have references and previous projects you’ve worked on, PLEASE provide them! I’d love to see and get a good idea of how you are.

  • Artists who love drawing animals and nature is a big plus!
