Recreation of Otesanic- March 2020
I thought it would be interesting to recreate a Czech folk story "Otesanic" following the Cartoon Network/Steven universe style guidelines contrasting with the Slavic gritty style. In order to make the western audience more likely to watch.
SHORT FILM WHAT DO I DESIRE- 2019
My Film explores an Alan Watts philosophy lecture "Do you do it or does it do you" focused on the chapter "If money was no object". The film emphasizes how everyone has their desires but don't act upon them as they are tied down by something.(half animation half live action)
Storyline: two characters "Tim" from upper-class trapped at a dead-end job, not truly experiencing life to the fullest. Jane lower-class single mother working as a cleaner, aspiring to become an author and see her daughter grow up. The first half of the film is animation to give the connotation of how they are not living to the best of their potential. As a result, the colours used are gloomy and dull. To make the two character story plots distinct the backgrounds reflect the characters; Jane's scenes use orange warm tones with texture. Tim's tones are blue with sharper shapes.
