Overview
This project is a 40-second animated short film for my Senior Capstone Project, focusing on CG cinematography to explore the theme of nostalgia. The film examines the bittersweet feelings we experience when we leave a place we once called home, highlighting how we often romanticize even the negative aspects of our past.
Through careful attention to detail in layout and lighting, the film captures the essence of suburban life and invites viewers to reflect on their own memories, sparking a sense of nostalgia regardless of their where they are from.
