Duration: 4:02
Media: 2D Digital Animation
Director: Celina Aloquina Doubleday
Art Director: Monika Yip
Logline: An escape act centuries in the making.
Genre: Action/Fantasy/Comedy
I wanted to create a film that has the same dynamic as a lot of other films I’m drawn to – lighthearted and goofy on the surface with layers of more abstract themes underneath. The film revolves around the idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy; wizards condemning a frog who has the potential to destroy the world and attempting to contain him to prevent that. There is an effect generated by simply being present within a space, and because change is an inherent quality in us and the world around us, that space is vulnerable to being changed by us merely being in it. That’s why I threw in some animals trying to kill each other… in that space.
