Abstract
Lucid Glitch is a six minute animated short film that explores the experiences of the main character, Cyrus, who is a depressed and insomniac digital artist who struggles with living his real life and escapes to his ideal, perfect world in his dreams. However, his long comfort in this colorful dream world is threatened by glitches that slowly tear it apart. Our film aims to use contrasting color palettes and glitch effects to visualize the internal conflict between escapism and self-acceptance. Our goal is to represent the burnout and depression and the emotional toll creative young adults face in today's world, particularly Millennials and Gen Z individuals.
