This popped back into my head recently. When I was in school for animation, I had an assignment. I forgot what it was. Likely something to do with blocking out shots of a scene or something. I think this took a week or two to put together.
Before I went on Testosterone, I could sing a little, and I think this might be the only proof of that. The song, lyrics, sound, and all, just popped into my head one day almost fully formed, and the animatic soon followed after. This character has no name, and even her story is a mystery to me. Themes of trickery and imprisonment are present, but by who and for why are still unclear.
I’m looking back at it now and wondering what a dark space my head must have been in to make something so foreboding. Seeing as a lot of this piece was crafted from a visceral, subconscious area, I could only assume my brain was desperately trying to tell me something. I’ll have to take another look at it and wince through the cringe to remember what it was. Thankfully, I’m in a much better place now.
