Abstract
This animation is based on a group of college students pitching ideas for a short film featuring genres such as; Fantasy, Noir, Superheroes and Telenovellas. With such inspirations as; Lord of the Rings (1954), Spiderman: Across the Spider-verse (2023), Clare (2010) respectively, until at the climax they incorporate all their ideas. Presenting both a meta and postmodernist intention. The overarching theme borrows heavily from Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995-1996), appropriating the stylistic intentions of no longer being “ concerned with pursuing a smooth, naturalistic movement” (Iglesias, S., & Soler-Baena, A. (2021) while also asking similar questions of the importance of human connections and self further explored through the creative practice. : Extract from Prospectus - Team Decisive.
