Through my storytelling, I sought to combine the experiences of my adolescence and the ways in which friendships are tested. Some decisions are trivial and some are far more impactful. Using the genre of science fiction, I created characters who have been connected to each other since childhood. Superficially, it seems that longtime friends are seeking a night of good times. However, the obstacles that they face on their journey toward freedom represent more than what they seem. The theme of young friendship carries these characters through a surreal experience that culminates in their commitment to one another.
The imagery that I used incorporates dark themes that are contrasted by vibrant coloring. I decided to highlight this contrast to convey an ethereal feeling that is marred by the stark and industrial backdrop of the scenery and setting. The enthusiastic behaviors of the characters also create a surrealistic aesthetic that does not quite match the circumstances and setting in which they are placed. These contrasts are a stylistic choice that is indicative of my animation style.
