Bachelor
Media Design

Making wonky miniatures? Animate cute things? Will we tell stories? Alright, I’m in! During my studies, I was particularly excited about bringing things to life by animating them – whether using keyframes, frame-by-frame or stop-motion.

Irresponsible!

Who is the bad guy here? In our animated film, unsolicited comments unsettle a mother and suddenly she finds herself in the role of the fairytale witch.

How can she do this to her child? Are you sometimes shocked when a child screams on the bus and the mother puts an iPad in it’s hand? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Don’t hold back! Just say something! Don’t let the child become stupid from consuming too much media or even forget how to look out the window! But what does the mother think? The mother in our animated film is unsettled by unsolicited comments. When a grandma suddenly becomes critical at the traffic lights, reality begins to fall apart.

Due to our social conditioning, we tend to expect a lot from mothers and react indignantly when they act differently. In our bachelor’s project we approach this topic from a surreal perspective, which exaggerates the effects of negative comments.

Group project with Hella-Maria Günst.
