Pre-Master Project
October 2013 - June 2014
This is a short animated movie, depicting a story of an old man fishing alone in a lake, trying to catch a rare type of fish, that drowns him in a mad pursuit during which the old man encounters past memories that reveal his story. The movie provides a different visual approach of storytelling, by combining events that both happen in a real and a parallel world, supported by visuals that combine analog and digital techniques.
Visual Style:
This project is an attempt to combine different analog and digital techniques in order to create a new visual style. Different case studies were examined using mixed medias, and the following technique is the result I reached after several trials. I used Charcoal to draw the character and environment (Real World) and drew the memories which were formed in the stars as constellations digitally (Paralell/Dream World)
