This film is about my death anxiety. I decided to go with this theme for my Junior year film idea to help me work through my feelings upon the subject. This is in hopes that it can start a dialogue between others as well, since the subject is very sensitive and personal to everyone.
I am going for a non-digital animation, as I think the textures of the physical elements will enhance the animation due to it being real-life materials for a real-life dilemma.
