This is a 2D animated narrative I created during my Internship with Embreate. As part of the internship we had to create our own story that could fit into their already established storyline called the "Future Now Project." 

Here is the link to their main project: Future Now

My story is called "Whispers In The Smog." It is about a dystopian future where smog blankets the outskirts of Punjab. The story revolves around a heart-wrenching montage of Ahmed, a resilient rickshaw driver, working his way from the impoverished outskirts to the opulent heart of the city. His day at work is concluded with one last pick-up request, where he finally meets his secret and scandalous lover. The animation delves into themes of human neglect, environmental collapse, resilience, and the strength found within the bonds of marginalized communities.

Below are some concept art, and animation tests I made.
