October Challenge
In October 2021, I joined the "Inktober" inspired challenge by @furrylittlepeach and used her prompt list as inspiration for quick animations. Although I didn't make one for every day of the month, I managed to put together a cute series.
Twisted Food
I created a series of fun, cheeky, and short animations, all of which are food-related and reveal surprising outcomes.
Crowdy Days
In late 2021/early 2022, crowded spaces seemed both threatening and desirable at the same time, so I found it an interesting topic to explore. I captured the sensation of being confronted with crowds again and played with the dynamics and moods that they can create. I focused on the combination of abstract movements and figurative illustrations and characters, leading to some kind of rhythmic but subtle choreography. Each animation shows a different topic, and the characters are in a different relationship to each other.
Short Film - "5 Reasons why I don't trust Jellyfish"
I animated this short film in an animation class at university in 2019. It was supposed to be only 30 seconds long but I fell in love with the process of creating a short film that I made an extended version just for myself. It was a wild experience animating from morning till night but seeing it on a big screen at a film festival made it all worth it.
Synopsis: We don’t know much about life under the water. We don’t know much in general. Often we forget which wonderful, disturbing and funny oddities life has to offer. And who could represent those oddities better than jellyfish with their majestic movements and their wobbly texture. But there is so much more to tell about them…
Animated Portraits
With this project, I wanted to reinterpret friendship and relationships. I asked myself, "What would it look like if a human and an animal had a very special bond?" I came up with quirky characters that are clearly connected to their pets in specific, playful, and visual ways. It's about being bold and eccentric and building unexpected relationships. "Creative Boom" featured this project and wrote an article about it, make sure to read it here.
Autumn Bliss
Usually, I am such a summer person, but when autumn 2020 approached, I became obsessed with the warm fall colors, pumpkin soup, hot chocolate, and the overall calming and cuddly vibe. So, of course, I decided to channel this obsession into animations.
Happy & Insane - animated sticker pack
This project was an experiment on what would happen if I didn't think too much about the concept, but just created whatever image comes to mind (cloud, roller skates, beer bottle, etc.) and focused on the pleasure of creating. I was surprised and pleased with the outcome.
