2024 | Longlist | Animation
  • Why did you create this work?
    In this piece I wanted to depict "feeling at home". To me, coming home means staying over at my best friend’s place on a rainy night for an evening full of cuddles, take out and silly tv shows. This is where I feel like I truly belong.
  • How were your illustrations used?
    I made it partly as a submission for the AR poster exhibition of Kaboom Animation Festival, as well as for the fun of it. It has also been posted to my Instagram.
  • What materials and techniques did you use?
    I used Procreate to draft the idea, TV Paint for the final illustration and animation, and Final Cut Pro for editing.
  • Was this project commissioned?
    Un-commissioned
