Making of "Labels"
For my undergraduate capstone project I animated a smaller portion of a wider story. This is the animation alongside the animatic.
Through my film Labels, I aimed to answer the research question: What is the communication potential of fashion in character design, and how does this affect the storytelling of a character-driven 2D animated short? I developed multiple designs for the two main characters during this project to fit various settings within the film's story. I also examined how different clothes convey the personality of a character and their design's integration with storytelling. My designs reference 1960s fashion and Classical Hollywood cinema. Some designers I took inspiration from were Gabrielle Binder (The Queen's Gambit) and Edith Head (Breakfast at Tiffany's).
This work would later go on to receive a bronze award in the DINZ Best Awards.
