Get Ready With Prince Yaza | VUGUE (CalArts 2023)

My second year film at CalArts!! Had a lot of fun making this one and I would like to thank a few people for helping me. Huge thank you to Alex Fortunato for working with me again on the amazing music and sound design. Thanks to my voice actors Steven Myat and Anya Butler for breathing life into these characters! This project was so fun to work on and I hope you enjoy watching it!

pls bully him thank you

[@dishearteningHoney]

But I love him 😭😭😭

[@beesnquackers]

fruity looking ass Did i do well enough cjdjjxjdjxn BUT LIKE FR THO THE COLOUR USAGE IS SO GENIUS?????

[@alligatorsun1854]

Since that's what you want... (I tried my best😭) You, Prince Yaza, ❤suck❤ I mean come on, if you're going to assassinate your brother, do it right dammit. You're so pathetically careless, it gives me second hand embarrassment. And that makeup? Ugh, so not it🙄 Proves that money can't buy taste. Maybe the reason why you're not king isn't because of your lineage, but because how terrible you are at stategizing something so simple such as a single murder. No country needs someone so painfully idiotic. One week and everything will go up in flames. So yeah, maybe sticking as the prince who's there to look cute is your only true calling. ... Okay I'm done bullying him But seriously, I love this :D The animation and colour palette is just so aesthetically pleasing. I'm now more curious into learning more into this world and this backstory with the royal family. I rate this an 11/10

[@Laurinbold]

He’s kind of slaying though

[@poploli2660]

He's to skinny to run a country, the stress with literally break him... or hopefully the citizens will!

[@melonzpip1776]

I laughed so hard when he actually called that hologram thing a makeup palette and turned it into a gun 😭 man's so glamour, his weapons are named contour, shadows, lipstick and highlights

[@stupidityofme7248]

"Makeup Palette, do your thing"

[@idyia_]

@@stupidityofme7248”okay, slay mode activated”

[@explosivebeans3770]

Holy hell the aesthetics, the world building, humor, designs, and artistry just everything so unique and beautiful

[@tctakili]

thank you so much!

[@donotreadmyprofile9373]

@marshalmarrs3269down bad

[@TheMedicatedArtist]

The low-poly designs paired with the VFX gives this film such a unique aesthetic. Low-poly characters are so underutilized; I wish more artists embraced it.

[@youyouphan338]

HOLY SHIT-- I was expecting the typical cute "get ready with me" video but then all the little things like the family portrait, the eye twitch, the violent clench kinda got me a little on the edge-- and then BOOM the "secret" ending, oml jaw dropped.

[@crystallation4249]

This... sounded like a game

[@harryl6897]

this came together so well!! absolutely love your take on a futuristic Burmese royal family, very unique

[@tctakili]

tyyy :)))

[@liyuan492]

"Slay mode activated"? 🤣 I love all the little details, like the *paid sponsorship and such. So much thought and effort!

[@sentienttapioca5409]

Okay but they reclaimed their family jewels from colonisers? Love that for them 💎

[@DrawnByDragonfly]

This is the most original, most fresh calarts film ive seen in ages! I love everything about the style and the story is conveyed so clearly in a really short amount of time. Well done!!

[@misxa6344]

I love how passive aggressive yaza is 😂

[@zissocool]

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS SO 😩

[@tctakili]

[@loumona76]

I'm so happy Calart is letting their students have fun (you know, since the students are the unique reason the school exist, and they're the one making for money and working hard)

[@kaidentsukiyama7144]

I clicked on this, without knowing it was Burmese! I was pleasantly surprised to see my culture here!

[@espeon871]

Same!!

[@icantthinkofagoodname.3983]

He may be evil, but he did absolutely slay in that outfit so I think it balances out.

[@tirramasu7948]

I'm not Burmese myself But I have lived in myanmar for just over half a decade It's so interesting seeing stuff like this Honestly I don't see much media relating to myanmar that much other than the recent war I love this so much It Honestly makes me happy

[@SakuraOpalArt]

SLAYED SO HARD!!!!!!!!!! uwahhhh i love ur colours sm,,,

[@tctakili]

tyyyy ❤❤ ur film was so cute !!

[@Kalaloo]

Love a good palette with an assassination conspiracy. It'd be so cool to see more this world and story. Amazing job, team!

[@grain9640]

I like that this is different from every [slow steps] [deep breath noise] [flashback] something something mental health narrative kinda student short film I see no hate on mental health narrative short films with "close up" sound effects-- I just rarely see anything so different even if some of them are really cool and unique spins and I love them😅

[@DanielSavageOnGooglePlus]

I really love the eye twitch at the beginning, and how the layers behind his facade slowly peel back.

[@nanpart1780]

This is so cool!!! Im a burmese artist and ive never really seen myanmar being represented in art. I love how you showed an alternative universe where the monarchy never ended, i've always wondered what it would've been like myself. I love the use of burmese aesthetics in the building being shown with the gold and clothing. The animation is awesome thank you for making this!

[@Abbey0912]

I wasn't sure if it is Burmese but when i see the family picture and the outfits i knew it is Burmese! As South east Asian myself, this is so cool!!!! Love the animation and the cultures in this. Wonderful work🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@FUMEXE]

wow this is so good.. this randomly appeared on my feed but looked interesting so i clicked. really like the execution (pun intended) of it, i guess this is what you call creativity

[@gamebowgirl872]

OH MY GODD?! As a Burmese person this gives me so much joy. What a stunning art style!

[@_3.14]

WOAH, he’s so sassy, we love a zesty prince 😝😝😝

[@Jazitechnis]

I LOVE THE 3D GEOMETRIC/ORIGAMI STYLE SO MUCH!! 🥰🥰 Love the aesthetic, colors, also the 2d animation at the end is just mesmerizing! 😩

[@sofa_mayo]

OMG THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I showed this to my mom since she speaks Burmese!! This style is so cool im speechless hollyyyy

[@riverkoenig9673]

FUNKY! And terrifying. Love the world building!!

[@kouryuu1694]

This is so unique! I’ve never seen anything like this, even the setting is really cool. I love all the small details and how Yaza’s facade breaks. Not to mention the low poly looking models still have so much personality

[@venyapo]

Wow, that's super impressive! So glad that gods of the KZbin algorithm brought me to this majestic animation ✨ You're awesome!

[@gelaiana9384]

“Oh my gosh the prince slayed!” “Totally-“ “Wait, what” “What.?” *insert glitter gunshot noises*

[@mxmischiefaa2632]

When I clicked on this, I really wasn't expecting Burmese voice over, at all! This was such a nice surprise!!! Really love the art style and the colours!!! Look at them colours, PRETTY!!! 👁️ the world building is also a great touch to this!

[@fromgy6105]

the vibes and sound design on this are absolutely fantastic! they pair perfectly with the world given and the low-poly aesthetic chosen.

[@bexkirlew]

this is incredible!! love the visual style of this and the little peak this gives into the characters world the GRWM vogue parody format caught my eye immediately and this fully delivered on it

[@weebtrashtvt6657]

[@strawberycupcake]

i love how “slay mode activated” works both ways and in both ways it’s hilarious

[@Karkitts]

i think im in love with him

[@alice_so_kattish5445]

I love how creative this is- from the aesthetics, color, sound, design, and the audio! It’s so cute and goofy in a way but you can also tell how detailed it is! Great job, I love this so much! The end is absolutely jaw dropping..!

[@PichuElric]

"The gems are the ones that were stolen by British Colonisers that we reclaimed" lmao 😭

[@4EverSmiles]

No one caught this but in 0:46, I didn’t notice there is a depiction of a man in pain while Yaza smiles

[@alicepalisa]
