“ While moving out of her apartment, Sadie becomes trapped in a closet and forced to face memories of her past she has long avoided”
"Moving On" is my 2024 stop motion thesis film reflecting on my past experience with a toxic ex partner. In 2020 I moved away to college from Texas to California, while moving i kept coming across some remaining items I had from them, making me reconfront those memories. This film is a love letter to those who helped me recover in the years that followed as well as those who may be in similar situations.
This project is still in development and planned to be around 7 minutes long. The final will include elements of 2d animation, paper cutout animation as well as other experimental techniques
Concept Trailer
To meet the graduation requirements I arranged my current footage into a music video / trailer. Trailer acts as proof of concept and shows how the 2d aspects will work.
Building the Set
project included: wood working, painting, 3d printing, foam sculpting, sanding
hanging up and placing the various cabinets
I started out by taking measurements to make sure the scale was accurate then made a mock-up with foam board
Creating the exterior was the final step. The wall is made of foam board with painted paper strips as the cement lining
Creating the flooring was the first part of the project. It is made of indvidually stained popsicle sticks cut into the same size and laid out. This step took much longer than I could have anticipated
