Life Hack

“Life Hack” is a short experimental film that explores the idea of seeking self-help, and the painful process of healing. In this process, the protagonist finds a computer hack that claims to solve her problems. The hack places the character in a position of reviewing the trauma that haunts her to the day. I wanted to focus on animation for my thesis in order to expand my motion portfolio and to build a demo reel. Artists such as Victoria Vincent, Raman Djafari, and Ben Marriott, and the anime Attack on Titan were strong inspirations to me throughout the project.
