This is my thesis short film, I came up with the brief, the concept and I wrote the story and animate it. To promote the film, I created posters and other promotional visuals.
Lingering Echoes of Time is a 2-minute animated short film about a message that was not sent on time. It plays around with multiple realities such as the present, the imagination, and the could-have-been. It uses different visual styles and techniques like motion design, frame-by-frame animation, and 3D animation to represent reality and imagination. It explores the passage of time using natural elements like changing colors of the butterfly, daytime and nighttime, water and ice, flowers and rain. The film is a meditation, where the audience can reflect on their relationship with the past, present and the future.
