Over the summer of 2021 I began working on the story for a short claymation film I planned to make, based around chess. Whilst I was throwing around ideas for the narrative, I also worked on the various charatcer designs. This process took me into the beginning of 2022, when I finally had a completed treatment written, and a rough idea of how all of the characters would look (though occasional and sometimes drastic changes would still be made over the following months).

Throughout spring of 2022, I storyboarded the first and second act of the film, leading into the beginning of summer where I began doing some animation tests and made a start on constructing the props, such as the weapons, headgear and even the board itself (as I needed one that could fit all of my characters on it).

Animation finally began in September of 2022. I decided to begin with the second act of the film, which centres around the game of chess itself. Production was then put on hold indefinitely to work on The Curse of Dracular in 2023. In 2025 I completed what I had produced and posted it to YouTube.
