Film, Sequence Animation

 

Meet Michelle, She's a young teenager who's depressed most of the time, especially the stressful mornings that she gets up, and knows she has to deal with work, school, or any obstacles that day, and she's not really stable, knowing that her room is a mess and liquor is in the hallway etc. Also, Her boyfriend was just in bed with her last night but he had to get up early and leave, which could be told by the open sheets as you see her bedroom in the opening scene.

About the film, I designed everything using SketchUp, Photoshop, Gimp, and After Effects. I also used YouTube as my sound library. I did not want anything professional, but something that looked close enough to a cartoon. This is also one of my rarest motion cartoons with 2D Animation skills. The film is simple and only 50 seconds.

 



Michelle's halfway turnaround consist of front, side, and also three-quarter view.

This is the bedroom and just photo's without extra materials and objects. The mac was barely shown in the scene where Michelle leaves her room, and in the picture below, the busted cabinet is never shown. Also, The covers were not added if you can see the bed, with just the mattress.

The kitchen is just a simple designed kitchen.  I designed this kitchen in a bit of a disrepair on purpose to show that it's hardly ever taken care of, even though it's just been renovated.(Personal info: The way this kitchen is set up, such as the refrigerator and the stove, is almost similar to how my dad's kitchen looks).

This is the floor plans and scene plans for the film. Again, I wanted to make this film as simple as possible. The red dot shows Michelle, and the gray camera symbol stands for where the camera is located.

This picture shows what the two miss doing and the film show's what they're going through now.....well at least, what Michelle goes through every morning after 8 a.m.
