About Sea of Ink Animirani kratki film

Sea of Ink je animirani kratki film o umjetniku koji se bori s kreativnom blokadom i putuje pod more. Film prikazuje kako umjetnik probija prepreke tijekom kreativnog procesa. Vizualna estetika trodimenzionalnog ručno crtanog akvarelnog tuša daje priči prepoznatljiv izgled. Djelo kombinira 2D animaciju, 3D animaciju, igrane snimke, ručno crtane ilustracije i pokretnu grafiku. Igrane scene snimljene su DSLR kamerom. Sea of Ink traje dvije minute i dvadeset sedam sekundi.
