The incredible Mrs Lien Mourlen

The idea started as a presentation of how cosmic powers change someone’s life.

Is a visually surrealistic approach in terms of creating a visual language, featuring characters as caricatures. Thus, the most important part of the artwork was designing characters and environment in a way that could fit in with the story and suggest a different world. 

The technical aspects were challenging and there was a combination of 3d animation and 2d elements. A lot of time was spent on searching and experimentation on frame-by-frame animation for the atmospheric and special effects, where in some shots was decided to use 3d simulations and in others frame by frame like the rain drops depending on the storytelling. In each case every frame is a well thought composition thickly connected to the narrative. The music component was crucial but was added in the end because the timing was very important. While I was animating the moon, I was based only on how the character would feel in real time deep in silence. Then a great team of musicians composed music while they were watching the shot and actually these talented guys made some magic there!
