Console Yourself, Please! is a 6-minute CG animated short and proof-of-concept, following the misadventures of two video game characters, Cog and Turbine.

Cog is quick-tempered and impulsive.
Turbine is easygoing and optimistic.
Together, they navigate life inside a next-generation gaming console, only to discover… there’s more to life than the game!

I wrote, produced, directed, and designed the short, blending comedy, heart, and cutting-edge animation to explore what happens when characters break free from their programmed roles.
