ODE TO JOY
Animation / 2016
A two-minute animated short for set to the music of Beethoven's Ode to Joy, meant to be an entertaining visual way to experience classical music. With a lot of freedom in the narrative from the client, the story is set in space where a lone Mars colonist begins setting up. The emotion of Joy is explored through the joy of exploration, of new frontiers, of seeing something grand built from nothing.
Done with Photoshop and After Effects.
