Concept
The film is a visualisation of a poem, making the words spoken an integral part of the piece.
Additionally, since the film was to be shown primarily on Facebook, subtitling was essential.
As sole animator on the team, it was my task to not only create said subtitles, but also animate other graphic elements at points.
The approach we chose for the subtitles is characterised by variations in typeface, as well as placement, and size — creating an equality of authority between visuals and sound.
