LIGHT

Light is symbolic of an eternal quest for happiness.

DARK

Darkness is a symbol of evil or mystery or fear.

happiness & joy:

Below are stills frames to this film project, as its broken down into chapters starting with Joy. The meaning of Joy is the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires. 

Through that definition I wanted to showcase through all the dark, joy and happiness always wins.

anger & rage:

Anger is an emotion marked by strong antagonism toward someone or something perceived to have intentionally caused harm. In this phase, I aimed to represent this feeling literally, illustrating how a person can appear to "heat up" with anger. Using Cinema 4D’s native Pyro simulation system, I creatively conveyed the idea of individuals being “on fire” when gripped by intense anger and rage.

sadness & sorrow:

Sadness is an emotional pain associated with, or characterized by, feelings of disadvantage, loss, despair, grief, helplessness, disappointment and sorrow.

We creatively chose blue as the primary color to reflect our character's mood, setting them in a rainy, stormy environment to further emphasize the depth of their sadness.

process:

Exploring references of monks praying and meditating in palaces inspired this cloak style. The cloak was created using Marvelous Designer, a cloth simulation tool that I personally enjoy working with.

Designing diverse scenes and universes where each character's mood shapes their environment symbolizes how we, as individuals, respond to the world around us in different emotional states. I felt this approach would effectively convey that vision.
