The premise

What needed form?

Make a short fictional story about waiting legible while keeping imagined events separate from documentary claims.

The approach

Decisions that made the work cohere

  1. Mapped a 24-beat visual sequence and continuity for the father and child.
  2. Animated stills through camera movement and paired them with music, effects and on-screen text.

Deliverables

  • 120-second local animatic and storyboard
