How To Float

Short Film

The Good Form team took a break from our regularly scheduled programming
to try to tackle the complex subject of anxiety and depression
through a short animated film.

 Design & Direction

Based on the story and scope of the project, we chose to tackle the animation using a 2D illustration style heavily inspired by the suprematism art movement. In conjunction with our 2D approach, we used 3D techniques throughout the film to help create depth and scope.

Process

Crafting the world and characters of the film required plenty of exploration and attention to detail.

Once the story and script were developed, the team storyboarded the entire film to assure the emotional weight of the narrative was told with as much care as possible.

A combination of 2D, 3D and cel animation techniques were utilized to create the film look of the film.
