Tales of Zale

(animated web-series, 2011-)

 

Role: Director, Animator, Designer

 

Tales of Zale follows a young, eagerly curious fox named Zale who together with his best friend, a cautious barn owl named Elva, goes about exploring their forest and the mysterious city ruins.

 

In the series, we take a poetic approach towards the themes of growing up and finding your identity. Every animal Zale and Elva meet along the way has its own approach to life, and by the end of it all our two main characters often have to reflect on whether or not this philosophy is right for them. Spoilers: it usually comes down to balance.

Tales of Zale has seen the release of 2 full 6-minute episodes and 3 "minisodes" thus far. Currently a special 11-minute episode is in production and a full series pitch is in the works.

• about •

My name is Sif Perlt Savery; director, animator and graduate from The Animation Workshop’s Character Animation Bachelor.

My main interests include 2D animation, TV/web-series production and how heart-felt storytelling can be fit into a commercialized animation industry.

 

Currently developing a TV-series concept it’s my goal for the near future to pitch, finance and direct a show for TV or the Internet.

There’s always more to learn, and this pursuit of knowledge has among other things led me to an exchange at the ChungKang College of Cultural Industries in Korea (where I studied under Mike Nguyen during the ongoing production of his feature film “My Little World”) and more recently to my participation in the La Poudrière’s Script Writing and Concept Development program.
