Perception

Our animated short features a parable inspired by the saying, “the only difference between a flower and a weed is judgement”. Through the use of flower symbolism, we explore how our confidence as individuals can be shaped by external influences and prevent us from appreciating our resilience and uniqueness.

While designing we decided our world didn’t have to be realistic, the only important quality was to contrast the sharpness of the weed with the roundness of the “beautiful” flowers.

Our project had many shifts from mood, color, to composition, so it was important that we lined up shots side by side to make sure there was cohesion, but also variety. Viewing it this way also allows us to see if the overall story points and mood for each act was successful.
