Motion Picture

For this project, I worked with Nok and Sydney. Since the assignment was to have something that looped, we brainstormed different ways to play with that concept. We landed on an idea where someone became a picture that they were looking at, so the loop became a part of the narrative in that way.

The story starts out in regular video, but as soon as the character makes contact with a portrait on the wall, everything becomes stop motion. Birds come out of the portrait, put the character to sleep and take a mask from the portrait to put onto the character, seemingly to trap the character in the portrait that they were just looking at.
