A couple of film students messaged our class in regards to creating small, simple animations for their documentary they were doing for an organisation called ACTSA. ACTSA commissioned a documentary about Kabwe and the effects of the lead mines there on the local population.
I, along with an animation studies peer, have decided upon which suggested shorts we will create for them and came up with story boards and gathered some research for the project.
I have taken up the majority of the asset creation and Alfie, the animation in After Effects. Here are some examples of the work
I went for a distinct warm and somewhat somber colour palette to reflect the dire situation and the hot environment. I was also somewhat inspired by the art in Waltz with Bashir animated film.
