About Sea of Ink Animert kortfilm
Sea of Ink er en animert kortfilm om en kunstner som sliter med en kreativ blokkering og reiser under havet. Filmen viser hvordan kunstneren bryter gjennom barrierer under den kreative prosessen. En visuell estetikk av tredimensjonalt håndtegnet akvarellblekk gir historien et særegent uttrykk. Verket kombinerer 2D-animasjon, 3D-animasjon, live-action-opptak, håndtegnede illustrasjoner og motion graphics. Live-action-scenene ble filmet med et DSLR-kamera. Sea of Ink har en varighet på to minutter og tjuesju sekunder.
