Flicker
Concept
The concept of Flicker centers around a girl who is lost in an abandoned building, trying to find her way out while feeling like she is being followed. This creates a sense of tension and suspense for the viewer, making the audience wonder what will happen next. The addition of a creepy monster at the end adds an extra layer of fear and danger to the story, providing a dramatic conclusion.
Process
In creating Flicker, I went through many iterations with the character design, specifically with the hair. The decision to make the character's design very cutesy is meant to create a stark contrast with the creepy setting. This contrast adds to the tension and suspense to the story, as it creates a sense of innocence being threatened by danger. By taking the time to iterate on the character design and make these deliberate choices, I have created a thematically impactful animation.
