About Sea of Ink Curta-metragem de animação
Sea of Ink é um curta-metragem de animação sobre um artista que enfrenta um bloqueio criativo e viaja sob o mar. O filme mostra como o artista rompe barreiras durante o processo criativo. Uma estética visual de tinta aquarelada desenhada à mão em três dimensões confere à história um aspecto singular. O trabalho combina animação 2D, animação 3D, imagens em live-action, ilustrações feitas à mão e motion graphics. As cenas em live-action foram filmadas com uma câmera DSLR. Sea of Ink tem duração de dois minutos e vinte e sete segundos.
