Successional movement in terms of direction girl is walking

Oppositional movement when girl collides with cat

Attack: girl vs cat

Sustain: Cat roaring

Causality

  • Expectations: attacks by cat

Duration

I think it may be just right, but the part where the cat roars may be too long.

Project 3: Impossibilities of Being

Concept

I wanted to portray a story in a world where humans have shrunk, while other elements of the world remain the same (buildings, animals, plants, etc.) and show the interaction between these tiny humans and their new environment. Being very small in size, with no home, they are forced to live in survival-mode, sourcing for food and shelter while avoiding predators. This film follows a girl who explores her new environment and escapes the jaw of a cat.

Through this film, I want to challenge myself to view my everyday environment in a whole different perspective, while creating a cute film with action.
