In response to the week’s theme of Characters and Events, I made a small animation of a girl's face disintegrating in the wind.
By making this animation I wanted to explore a character that comes across a situation and changes accordingly - in this case the blowing of wind. My intention was to show an abnormal reaction to a normal occurrence, in this case, someone's face literally getting blown off in the wind. I think the relationship between characters and events can be played around with to build a sense of humor and light-heartedness.
Similar work in which an unpredictable flow of events influence the characters in the narrative can be seen in this illustrated short story by Daniela Sosa called Wildlife.
