Dandelion is a student film about a gardening rabbit desperately trying to get rid of a pesky weed in her garden! A sweet and fun 2-minute animated short film intended for a younger audience.
Let's collaborate!~

Please link me to a demo and/or portfolio of your work! I'm looking for a light-hearted, upbeat score with a build up to a serious/somber/quiet tone toward the end. It should evoke something out of Animal Crossing, Studio Ghibli, or Stardew Valley, but I'm open to anything!
We will be corresponding via email or Discord to time out the score to fit the film.

Say something you think would fit
Please link me to previous works, a demo reel, or a portfolio if possible! I'm looking for something cute, upbeat, and funny! This fun 2 minute short has a lot of nature ambience, gardening sound effects, as well as "cartoony humor" -- think very toned down Looney Tunes!

- I resonate with the sound design in the short film 'Sewing Circle' by Jackie Lee: https://vimeo.com/214400209

Say something you think would fit
The rabbit is the main character of the short, Dandelion! She loves gardening and tending to her plants every day. She's sweet and soft natured, but can lose her temper pretty easily! This is a nonverbal character, so please shoot me some noises you think a rabbit would make! (Also, don't feel limited to the lines provided, I'd love to hear what you've got!)
(Soft humming, taking care of her garden. Lost in thought.)
(A curious and confused "hmm?")
(Growing VERY angry)
The Dandelion is a creature that's shy, reclusive, and a little bit of a crybaby. Don't be fooled though, it is no ordinary garden weed! It's a round root creature whose top is a dandelion flower poking above ground, which confuses the Rabbit into thinking it's just a regular weed.
This is a nonverbal character that sounds cute and soft, although I want to steer clear from it sounding too much like a baby/human. I sort of imagine it sounding similar to a Pokémon (for reference go to 00:42 seconds in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwOmrVxj0vk&feature=youtu.be ) but I'm very open to your interpretation!
(A gentle and understanding noise, nudging the Rabbit for reassurance.)
(A panicked/surprised gasp! Something to grab the Rabbit's attention.)
(Soft crying.)
