Screenings

Chance: This cell and model animation uses live action and is set around a pinball machine. When the ball hits a certain compartment, the animation inside begins. Each compartment symbolizes a negative or positive aspect of life.

Time Capsule: This one-minute cell and computer animation in live action was based on the techniques of drawing and painting. It is a moving painting. I wanted the viewer to examine the animating image. That is why I closed in on the details of the overall composition.
