The Brief

Mathew Paul

A short animation exploring the different sides of a person. Through watching our short film, you will begin to think about how what used to be your fatal flaws can actually turn out to be what you needed the most.

We wanted to make a short film talking about how often people feel trapped and alone, but there is still a part of them who is growing and succeeding. We made our animation in Adobe Animate, an animation software. We started our creative process with brainstorming and character design. We believed it was important to incorporate both of our art styles into our piece. Our first brainstorms where about mental illness and depression, but we started going more into how people are inside and how to show different sides of people. We continued developing our storyline as we started making our character. Then we both made different animations both representing different parts of our character.
