FiGURES

FiGURES depicts a strange, bittersweet moment in our lives, caught between a feeling of longing and acceptance. A story of reminiscence and familiarity. A story of being alone in a sea of people, told through snippets of a night where one person looks back and remembers someone very close to their heart, almost highlighting an unease in their life with a strangely comforting composition. The vagueness of this someone is what makes the song and music video an interesting and easily relatable piece. When we are left alone amidst the shadows and the echoes of our memories, this exists to fill the darkness and the quiet.

The animation was created using mixed media. The visuals are derived from acrylic colours painted on transparent plastic overhead projector (OHP) sheets. It weaves together the stillness and subtle motion of the camera and characters with the uniqueness of every single brushstroke, creating a sense of movement even between two similar frames.
