The stories that have made the most impact on me feature characters that find the will to live despite the trauma they have experienced. My goal is to communicate stories through simple yet dramatic compositions and environments that capture the inner turmoil of the character. Vast, quiet spaces in nature have always provided me with a sense of calm. I want the viewer to follow the character on their emotional journey, while experiencing calmness from the environments I create.
For The Assassin, I chose to animate scenes that take place in the present in graphite, creating fine marks to resemble the clearness of the present. I chose to animate scenes that take place in the past in charcoal, creating soft marks to resemble the fogginess of a memory. The story follows an assassin who wakes up alone in a snow covered forest, desperately trying to remember his past. The question is, does he want to remember?
