"We share our mothers' health"
 

Title: "We share our mothers' health"
Running Time: 00:03:30.00
Music Track: Single release track "We share our mothers' health" by The Knife from Rabid Records

The animation starts with a girl that wakes up from a long sleep and starts searching for a sacred apple. At the end of a nightmarish story the girl is able to find her apple but only to discover the real price that she has to pay for it.

This was def. one of the best projects that I have worked on. The band gave me full creative freedom and they were very happy with the result. One of the film's concepts was to express pain in suggestive ways. Funny thing is that coincidently I had undergone nasal and septal surgery at the beginning of the project, and because of that I was in pain and my nose was still bleeding during the first two weeks of production (sorry for being so graphic...). Well, anyways enjoy the film!

Online Game:

After the completion of the "We Share Our Mother's Health" video I developed an online game together with Brille Records based on the video. I thought it would be easy since I could use all the assets from the video, but it turned out that the characters from the video looked a little awkward once they were placed in the game's stage. So I made some adjustments as for instance making the characters' heads bigger and the torsos shorter and it worked!

The highest scorers in the game will receive one of the limited silk screen prints with images from the video. You have time till August 31st, so give it a shot!!
