Loquat
Loquat is a group animation submitted to Microflix Festival 2019. Our short film was based on the microlit “Johnny Cakes” written by Alexandra Geneve, and adapted to “Loquat” by Milly Guo, Emily Chen, Bene Zhang, and myself.
The snap shots featured are my own segments representing the character’s internal commotion in response to a tornado that hit South Australia. We tackled the life changing and generational impact of environmental trauma. Through extensive research into epigenetics, I was able to visually demonstrate this biological phenomenon. I attempted to portray the emotional and physical implication of external forces in a metaphorical way, utilising 2D animation techniques.
Below is a 30 second extract from the film with all of my own animation and a character development turn around designed by me.
