In response to this week’s theme of “Characters, Environments and Events”, I produced a 30 second abstract animated sequence to demonstrate the relationship between a meaningful photo, twin’s love and twins actions towards each other.
By animating a hidden floating heart inside a lovely photo bringing the character of ‘elder sister’ to life, informing the ‘elder sister’ passing her love to the ‘younger sister’ to bring the ‘younger sister’ to life resulting in ‘younger sister’ smile back to the ‘elder sister’ to complete the twins’ love story, I demonstrated the strong connection between environment, characters and actions with events occurring within.
Related work comes from Arijun Chatterjee’s Animated short film of ‘HOME.” The film demonstrates how the characters of three birds relying on their environment-'Tree' leading their further action of protection and discovery of their 'homes' while triggering their interaction with humans. The work inspires me to explore this tight connection of environments & objects guiding characters' actions and movements.
