I just realised I've never showed you guys this video! I started this blog to show off my creative stuff and I forget only like one of my favourite video's ever LOL.
I made this video for a project week at school. Once in a while we have a week with no classes so we can work on one big project. Such a relief, because it gives me the opportunity to dive into something really deep without distractions :)
The last time I signed up for theatrical storytelling, a class taught by Emiel Driesten, someone who graduated from the same study I'm taking. A fun guy who never taught before, but got the creative juices flowing in everyone!
The assignment was made to make you tell a story. You had to pick a daily, meaningless object or little situation (like toothpicks or turning off the alarm clock in the morning) and make it important. Elevate or enlighten something seemingly empty by adding rituals to it. My object was a roll of toilet paper.... Mind you, we had to pick the dumbest thing we could think of before we got the rest of the assignment. Then I chose a trail of rituals that has always been part of my life: those we have with pets. And then we got to pick our medium. Well that was easy, I wanted to do an animation video! Animation is one of my great loves in life :) The teacher though was a bit skiddish about having only 2.5 days left to write, draw, animate and edit an entire short. I was confident though, because if you're having fun, you don't really notice it's already midnight and you're still only halfway through editing... And I did finish in time!
So without further explanation, here is my animation video! Enjoy and let me know what you think!
P.S. The titleword 'rol' is the Dutch word for roll.
P.P.S. Turn on your sound, the music adds a lot and is not annoying, squeeky or screamy :)
