With Poem 1 in the stage of editing, we decided to start on Poem 2. We all agreed before choosing a poem that we wanted to do an animation. We also wanted to do something simpler than our first poem. We all decided to do the poem 'Isolated' by Zenam Bi.
Zenam Bi
Isolated like the emotions I have held for many years.
The cold weighs hard on my bones.
As the dark clouds begin to gather,
quiet surrounds the air.
The rural space echoes with stillness.
The picturesque image engraved in my mind.
Like a single tree embedded in a field,
The wavy grass hangs around to help ease the loneliness it feels.
The sheep wander aimlessly in this desolate sphere.
This time, we decided to come up with ideas together as a team.
The roles for this poem were changed slightly, Alex would edit the film together, Sophie would provide background illustration and I would do all the character animation.
We wanted to keep the animation as simple as possible, so we decided to have a simple character and keep it black and white. Quite quickly we realized the drawings were similar to the art of Limbo.
The art style is very similar to want we wanted, the character is even similar to one we designed. The feeling of loneliness is quite profound in Limbo, which also fits our film well.
