‘Good Intentions’ Short Film by Anna Mantzaris

Leave a Comment / bts, short films /

‘Good Intentions’ Short Film by Anna Mantzaris It was a delight to animate for Anna Mantzaris on her graduation film at the Royal College of Art. I animated aproximately 60% of the film, giving lots of attention to the anxiety & internal struggle of it’s central character Emma. Once the film was wrapped,  Anna was snapped up as a director for Passion Pictures & rightly so! In this small thriller about decision making and guilt, a young introverted woman is responsible for a car accident. She escapes the scene but can’t stop thinking or imagining, what happened to the other driver. And soon strange things starts to happen… https://vimeo.com/482311708?fl=pl&fe=vl The film premiered at BFI International Film Festival and has since then been shown in over 130 Festivals.

Anna & I indulged in many deep discussions on the human brain & it’s flight/fight/freeze response, analyzing the ever-shifting paranoia & anxiety of Emma, the film’s central character.

Global Women ‘Career-Limiting Move’

Leave a Comment / bts, commercials, short films /

Global Women ‘Career-Limiting Move’ Happy International Women’s Day! It’s always a pleasure to work with Anna Mantzaris, but this project was extra special! A fantastic cause for Global Women tackling the most ‘Career Limiting Move’ that a woman can make…. Animated by Anna, Mark Waring & myself. I animated the office workers & a lot of flying paper in the second video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGZqRdkHORQ There was a lot of flying paper needed to bring this animation to life! We shot the paper elements separately to the characters to make it easier to paint the wire rigs out. Any paper that the puppets interact with was done at the same time as the puppets, so they were actually holding paper when required to.
