Artistic Exploration
Short Film
Fall 2024 // Animation + Illustration
Artistic Exploration is a short film showing the difficulties of the creative process through the perspective of an ink blob that gets away from the brush. The blob has to travel back across the studio to reach the artist and fulfill his purpose by becoming part of a completed art piece. The background illustrations were done with a warm color palette and retained their painterly textures to make the black ink stand out and to show that the ink painting is a different type of work that is normally done by the artist in the film, making the process difficult and frustrating. The character animation was created using After Effects and placed in a studio setting illustrated with Procreate.
