2024 | Longlist + Shortlist | Animation
  • Why did you create this work?
    Inspired by my best friend’s life experience, this work focuses on the psychological changes in the daily life of a social phobic. The first-person approach allows the viewer to immerse themselves in a day in the life of a social phobic, and to understand that social phobia is not just an introvert as society generally perceives it, but a reality that exists around us or in ourselves.
  • How were your illustrations used?
    This is the first animation I created, and it was created as one of the projects in my postgraduate application portfolio.
  • What materials and techniques did you use?
    I mainly used pencil drawing, monotype and collage for all the images, and used PremierPro to created the final animation outcome.

    Un-commissioned
