Music video for my friend Realista, directed, drawn and animated by me.
The video presents a day in the life of a man, who fights a daily battle that he will never win, leaving him broken and in pieces...
The making of...Auto-Mutilação
Storyboard
It looks confusing, but it's clear enough for me to understand it since I was working alone.
Animation
The video was fully animated on paper with pencil drawings and colored in photoshop.
I decided to work with a low framerate aesthetic to cut on production time and materials.
I wanted the whole video to have a dream like feeling, as if the main character is trapped within recuring nightmare that he can't wake up from.
This video was finished in 2014 when I was in college, I see it as my first real attempt at creating an animated video.
At the tme I was watching a lot of Bill Plympton films and by observing his very raw/traditional style and technique I got to learn a lot about the animation process, so when I started to animate this project I took a lot of inspiration from him.
Auto - Mutilação will always have a special place in my heart, I learned a lot while making it and most importantly it was my daily escape for a year and a half.
