The Project
This teeny tiny short film found its way to the big screen as an exercise on perspective, storytelling and stylising human anatomy.
In 2021 I decided to work on my drawing fundamentals and buckle up for some serious human anatomy. Whether learning a language, an instrument or doodling some jolly characters, I always felt the need to first understand the basics and rules, before going out there and experiment on my own. When it comes to illustration I always pretended to not having to learn anatomy, as I never wanted to create photorealistic characters.
Little did I know, how much this knowledge will help me even for highly stylised character designs.
After various drawing attempts but not really getting the result I was looking for, I decided to use Cinema 4D and go a more flexible way of finding the right perspective.
With the 3d renders as guides I was able to set the right stage.

When defining the two shots for the clip I always liked the idea that each one of them could work as well as kind of a still image loops.
