A little background information...

This is my graduation film from The Bristol School of Animation. It is a very personal film, about the struggles of life, coming to terms with our fate, and ultimately the futility of it all.

How was the film made?

The film was made in TV Paint. It was unusual in that I did not use any storyboard or animatic. Instead, I discovered the story through building and editing seemingly random scenes together. I would develop on interesting conflicts that emerged. The falling man and the busy city for example.
