Project for Animation 2: Experiments class
Final animation for this class! We were tasked with making a film portrait about a person or place, so I made my film about my long-distance relationship with my boyfriend.
The techniques I used were done with physical media. The only digital element is the hologram of the Pepper's Ghost illusion done with a plane of glass, in which I projected the hand-drawn animation I captured to give the effect of a computer monitor. The other media I used were ink, watercolor, mixed media paper, cardboard, index cards, acrylic ink, and velvet.

I captured the shooting process of the illusion where my iPad projects footage down into the glass plane that then reflects it to the viewer.
