This is an experimental animated work for my experimental animation class in Emily Carr University. This project was required to consider a vertical frame (using index cards provided from class) within a common 16:9 screening frame and the space within the frames. It is suggested that the beginning of this animation could happen as such: a man reads a piece of paper and walks slowly inside the vertical frame; his paper is blown away by wind and the rest of the story is left for students to complete.
The first thing about this assignment that grabs my attention is the idea of "frame" and then I immediately connects "frame" with human connection and communication. It seems that everyone would have some kind of psychological frame for protecting their emotional, mental, and spiritual space. Yet the moment we wish to connect with someone, we start to reveal bits and bits of our inner thoughts to that person. The more we are breaking the psychological frames, the closer we are making a connection to someone else.
My original idea is to make a love story between a young woman and man. However, after a while I find it could be more interesting as a piece to bring two conservative elders into this romance and see how they would react towards their frames.
This animation is mainly digital cut-out puppets edited in Photoshop. I creates the melody in this video by using Garage Band. Hope you would enjoy watching my work. Thank you!
