Human nature
This is an educational animated short on the topic of urbanization, that I made in my first year of animation study in Willem de Kooning.
The plot sets place in a modern city where there’s little escape from the stress and monotony of daily life. I wanted my animation to show the outside world as a reflection of the inside world of the character. The person’s strive for nature, and in this case the urban garden, as an escape from the soul. It is showing how though small, every individual impact matters. People seek nature in their lifes in one way or another. The collective effort creates the change. The change that the world needs. But as in every tale there’s a negative side of things. People are greedy and the big effort of many can sometimes be undone in a second. But the circle at the end doesn’t only talk of doom. As a circle it can always be rotate once again and that is the hope. Whatever is undone can be done once more. The cycle of life. The beginning can also be seen as the the start of a new rotation.
