Description:


    Wandering about the hospital by night, Lucia discovers several X-rays. The image of a skull fires her imagination, and before long, dream and reality begin to blur…
    The aim of this work is to tell the story through the perspective of the main character. The animation and atmosphere tell the story without words. Lucia overcomes the fear of her illness through her imagination.

    The aesthetic of X-ray imges and the look of computer-generated pictures were the starting point for the design of this short. Both have artificial and organic elments I could play with. The character design resembles the appearance of puppets. I made this decision to avoid complexity, and I thought it might work because the story is told from the perspective of a child. Fluid effects in Maya helped me to achieve the desired look of smoky forms in the X-ray world.
