About the Project

Swan Song is the senior film of Ashley Armstrong, an Animation and Digital Arts Student at the University of Southern California.

Ashley has had a passion for animation since she was a child, beginning with the first animated film she ever saw: 101 Dalmatians. As she grew up she recreated those worlds and stories with toys and eventually created her own worlds through collaborative comics with her sister. Now she attends USC and aims to be a story artist for feature animation.

Swan Song is the story of a frustrated composer who is lured by a haunting melody and crosses paths with an injured swan maiden. With her as his muse he finds inspiration to write music again.
