SOMETIMES I FEEL BLUE - Animation Short Film

This is my University Animation course Final major Project. I am very grateful for the help and advice I received from my tutors, friends, and family. I learnt so much while creating this film. Thank you all for the support. I hope you enjoy the film as much as I loved creating it!
Film Synopsis: Exploring the theme of self-identity and purpose in life. The short illustrates the story of Nialah, a young adult going through an identity crisis and finding it difficult to know who she’s meant to be. This short film is a journey of inner conflict and loss.
ANIMATION BY: DAVID DJOCO

[@popincandee]

Oh my god. This is absolutely beautiful.

[@Shiinxs]

Thank you so much!!

[@user-dw6zp8et5k]

Spectacular!!! The weighty pauses in the beginning after she wakes up sets the mood so well. It's kind of hard to explain but you can tell her mind isn't really anywhere. Reminiscing? Dissociating? The pan in on the images where she had friends and a support system and looked really happy, that made me guess that drifted away or things didn't work out and there's nothing to look forward to anymore, which made her contemplate her purpose. (OR because she got so wrapped up in her purpose, it caused the things and people that made her happy to lose their significance)! (also i love the detail of the quote on the train screen thingy that's awesome)

[@Shiinxs]

Wow, I wasn’t expecting anyone to get this much information from the film since I don’t actually explain anything! Most of what you mentioned is correct. She feels lost and unsure of her identity and most of what’s seen (whales and falling underwater) are things happening only on her mind! The ending credits shows her again on the train but this time fully covered in blue, it’s as if she never came back to herself and it’s still disassociating (falling underwater) Thank you for the kind words 💙

[@Aniel_studios]

This is definitely soothing brother. Came from Instagram to watch the full video out here. Kudos 🎉

[@Aniel_studios]

Moral of this masterpiece = Live life to the fullest 🙃

[@PDragonBaby]

This is absolutely beautiful!! The message was a bit abstract and I didn't pick it up until the message at the end but the animation was beautiful and the art was utterly gorgeous!!!!
