About Sea of Ink Animéierte Kuerzfilm
Sea of Ink ass en animéierte Kuerzfilm iwwer e Kënschtler, dee mat enger kreativer Blockade kämpft an ënner d'Mier reest. De Film weist, wéi de Kënschtler wärend dem kreative Prozess duerch Barrière brécht. Eng visuell Ästhetik vun dräidimensionaler, handgemoolter Aquarell-Tënt gëtt der Geschicht en eenzegaartegt Ausgesinn. D'Wierk kombinéiert 2D-Animatioun, 3D-Animatioun, Live-Action-Opnamen, handgemoolt Illustratiounen a Motion Graphics. D'Live-Action-Szeene goufe mat enger DSLR-Kamera gefilmt. Sea of Ink dauert zwou Minutten a siwenanzwanzeg Sekonnen.
