Kia Ora my name is Anaru Puketapu and I am a passionate upcoming Maori creative practitioner currently studying Animation at the Massey College of Creative Arts, Wellington

Bachelor of Creative Media Production

Roadkill Rockband is an animated short intended for the NZ film festival. This project gained my interest early on in the year and so I took up the role as one of the animators, to step out of my comfort zone of doing mostly 3D animations. I'm proud of the contribution I made as an animator on this project and hope to continue growing my animation skills in the future.

Diego, a guitar wielding coyote, is freaking out. Is it the zombie apocalypse or a hungry employee outside? Either way, this is sick! Roadkill Rockband is a 2 minute, 2D animated comedy made in Toonboom Harmony. This Major Project Production was an opportunity for our team to learn and develop our skills working within a 2D animation pipeline. The finished film will be shown at film festivals around the country.
