In response to a live brief, my animation accompanies ‘The Secret Life of Balconies’ by Michael Pederson, a poem celebrating nature, human connection and the fantastical in the mundane. Using a hand-drawn approach, and a restricted primary colour palette, I wanted to elevate the mystical and exciting feel of the poem and invite the audience into Pederson’s world. I created a circular narrative that takes the viewer on a journey from outer space, down to Earth, zooming in at a micro level, before catapulting them back into cosmos.
