About Sea of Ink Animeeritud lühifilm

Sea of Ink on animeeritud lühifilm kunstnikust, kes võitleb loomingulise blokeeringuga ja rändab mere alla. Film näitab, kuidas kunstnik loomeprotsessi käigus takistustest läbi murrab. Kolmemõõtmelise käsitsi joonistatud akvarelltuši visuaalne esteetika annab loole eripärase välimuse. Teos ühendab 2D-animatsiooni, 3D-animatsiooni, mängufilmilikud kaadrid, käsitsi joonistatud illustratsioonid ja liikuva graafika. Reaalsed stseenid filmiti DSLR-kaameraga. Sea of Ink kestab kaks minutit ja kakskümmend seitse sekundit.
