"Puppeteer" is a CG-based Public Service Ad (PSA) about the awareness of War Conflict. This animation is created with abstract method, as wars are often connected with political issues, which is sensitive to voice out. The figures are mostly static, though VFX or Simulation as the major point to create visual attraction. 

Based on the definition, a Puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object that might be shaped like a human, animal or mythical creature. The puppeteer may be visible to or hidden from the audience. In metaphorical way, Puppeteer also represents individuals who may have the power to control over the another individual or group, such as media, society, or people itself. 

The intention of proposing this animation is to voice out the lies made by the "Puppeteer" behind any warfare. People are just like puppet, people are often triggered by what they've seen. Media, act as an important role to deliver the news or messages to people of large. When the news or messages are visually strong enough to convince people, then there won't be anyone question about the authenticity of the messages. It might be some political lies, or beneficial purpose for "Puppeteers", who knows? When people started to get affected mentally, psychologically and wished to fight for their own "right", then a declaration of war conflict would happen sooner. This outcome is what "Puppeteer" hoped for.

This animation was made for my graduation project in Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, Malaysia.
