My third-year 2D animated short film ‘The Mime’ received a first. This project included a wide range of the Adobe suite including Adobe Animate, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.

The dark comedy tells the story of a mime’s infatuation with a waitress and how his fantasies about her soon turn into an obsession he cannot escape. The viewer is invited into the mime’s mind and encouraged to experience the story from his distorted perspective: the overall humorous tone of the animation is countered by the underlining invitation to a more profound discussion around the issue of consent.
