My short is a 2D Animated short based on my character, Avellana and how she comes to terms with and opens her eyes to the world around her and what she truly wants by giving back an injured dragon child to its parent, condemning the brutal ways of her husband’s family. It follows her on her wedding day, set in the medieval period, where she is bustling with happiness and joy at the day. But is suddenly awoken to the harsh reality that’s surrounding her and it forces her to re-evaluate what and who she is. It’s 1 minute and 18 seconds and displays all of the above in a motion graphic animation style with high detail backgrounds and designs.
The reason that I chose to do this short is because not only have woman become more prominent in media, it’s also enticing to see what would happen when your faced with the option of ignorance and bliss opposed to doing what’s right and facing the issue head on.
