Anansi the Spider - CalArts Experimental Animated Short - 2024

Discover the incredible story of Anansi, the clever spider from West African and Jamaican folklore who became a symbol of wit, wisdom and whimsy. Learn how this trickster character outsmarted powerful opponents who were 100 times his size, brought stories to humanity, and even influenced modern superheroes like Spider-Man. This animated short film, completed in 2024, started off as a first year project for my Masters in Experimental Animation at CalArts. It is a classic folktale from Jamaica where our our itty bitty friend must outsmart the jungle’s fiercest predators or end up as someone’s lunch. In this story, Anansi the Spider is confronted by Tiger, King of the Jungle, and must meet his demands in order to save his life. ______________________ Creative Process: Every frame was hand-drawn on paper, scanned and arranged in Adobe After-Effects, colored in Adobe Photoshop and compiled in Adobe Premiere. This folktale was retold with a striking visual technique. ______________________ Anansi the Spider is perfect for students, parents, and anyone interested in cultural heritage and mythology.

I draw inspiration from the folktales and myths of my Caribbean heritage. I did a BFA in Illustration at RISD and recently completed an MFA in Experimental Animation at CalArts. I am also a 2025 recipient of a Film Honoraria from the Princess Grace Foundation USA. ______________________ Follow me: ▪️   / thatishall   ▪️   / thatishall   ▪️   / @thatishall   ______________________ Website: https://www.thatishall.com
