SYNOPSIS
Rock Shanty follows the whimsical, if not wacky tale of Sorbet the Siren and her attempts to lure in the fisherman, Flounder to eat for her dinner using her feminine charms and magical singing voice. Only to be thwarted by Flounder's son Gelato in a ridiculous but clever fashion as he counters her magic with an epic guitar solo. Luring his dad back in towards a back-and-forth battle of music and wit.
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
I am Ofentse Bonolo Makhaza and I was born and raised in the south of Johannesburg. I am the second last born of 4 sisters. I chose animation as I saw it as a different pathway to explore my artistic talents, in a way that will bring life to the thoughts I have. I love the creative power that comes along with being a CG artist. Whether it's modeling or lighting, there are so many unique ways to express my individuality.
