Too Close: Animated Short

About the project:

This project was made with a 15 second limit on the animation. I had a very clear idea that I wanted it to be wide shot and sobering, based on the movie that inspired me for this, Force Majeure. A big part of this was creating credible movements. For this purpose, I searched for many references, listed at the end.

The short is composed of a wide shot and a close up, made in different Photoshop projects, though most of the work went into the wide-shot. The projects are shown below.

And here is the initial animatic from which I worked:

Warning: This is the first video I found of a person falling over from being tasered where the camera is still, and nobody is helping the person fall. The person does seem to lose consciousness.ย
