Hedgehogs

 

about

Hedgehogs is a short film that explores isolation, dualism, and the boundaries between dreams and reality. From a narrative point of view, I wanted to define loneliness in both the mental and physical sense.

PROCESS

I grew up watching animated films and have always wanted to create my own story or narrative. As an artist, my main focus was creating a visual style that matched the tone of my original idea. I wanted to be very thoughtful in not only in the abstract perspective (feel, tonality, mood) but also in the technical perspective (color space, camera perspective, length of shots). As this was my first real dive into creating my film, I spent most of my efforts learning about the process of rigging a character and creating backgrounds from displacement maps. From start to finish, the whole project took 10 months.

Work was done in After Effects, Cinema 4D, and Octane.
