animation style

I've always been inspired by the Japanese animation studio Studio 4°C their style is the complete antithesis of my usual work. So I was determined to study them and incorporate their avant-garde style in my own way.

camera movements

Since the initial setting was on the back of a train car, I had to figure out how I would establish the world and film that they lived in such a a small confined space.
