MOTION GRAPHICS ANIMATION
Samantha Lee
Possessing a long-standing interest in literature and the written word, Samantha wanted to create her own adaptation of a literary classic. A tribute to William Shakespeare and his most famous work, this motion-graphic animation is an abridged and simplified version of Romeo and Juliet. Working with sketchy, two-dimensional drawings in a three-dimensional space allowed the artist to create a sense of realistic depth in hopes of bringing the story to life. Accompanied by exquisite Renaissance music and a mellow voice narrating the story, the entire animation is set in a monochromatic colour scheme that aims to convey the timelessness of this romantic tragedy.
