GO DEEPER

When I began brainstorming for this project I was very inspired by the surrealist art and production design I had seen in the media. In my production design experience, I have not gotten to deviate outside of decorating sets to look like real-life events. I wanted to push my limits and try out something abstract and creative instead of more lifelike. Always finding inspiration in the world around me, I decided to pick three colors and form a tiny world based on how the colors make me feel.

This project was something I had never done before and at first I was very hesitant to take on this challenge. I have always loved working with paints, clay, and other art materials but the idea of making mini models was something I had never done before! During this film, I faced many challenges, from finding the right materials to compositing myself into the project itself. When it came to the models, my biggest challenge was scaling down my ideas from life-size to mini.
