Ships Passing In The Night

A film for my Contemporary Literature class final project, exploring the relationships between immigrant children and their parents: how we can often feel so disconnected from each other, yet love still pulls through it all. This film was initially meant to be live-action, with a live-action trailer made in April 2024. However, I pivoted to animation while producing the film in May, because many of the lighting and framing ideas I had for shots were too complicated to set up with the iPhone I was filming with. From start to finish, the animated film took a little over a month to make. This is my second attempt at animating anything longer than 5 seconds, and some shots are rotoscoped for the sake of speed.
