Finalist | Fine Art - Animation / Motion Graphics

One city dwelling giant greedily fights with its mountain dwelling counterpart over space, aesthetics, and limbs.

This film is all about the collision of two characters, both dwelling in shell-like homes made out of houses or mountains. One character neurotically arranges and designs their space using whatever they think is necessary, without respect for an element or object's origin. In their own ways, both characters are designers of their spaces and their fates. 
This project was primarily animated in photoshop and assembled and cleaned in after effects. 2D hand drawn and digitally drawn elements were collaged and placed to create backgrounds that characters could be animated around. The sound was created using zoom recorders, cardboard, wood, glass, erasers, whiteboards, and the occasional adobe prerecorded sound clip. All sound was edited in Adobe Audition. 
Sketches and Development!
Thank you!
