"The Weather Monitor" is a storyboard project I created as a mentee for the Netflix Animation Foundations Program, where I was put in a story team to create an original story based on a prompt about a change in the weather. The concept was inspired by the cryptid mythology of atmospheric creatures that resided above the clouds.
