Animation, Character Design, Audio Engineering, UI Design, Music, and everything else crafted by myself. Animated in Adobe After Effects, UI Layout Designed in Illustrator, Misc.

The main idea of this short came after watching some footage being pixel sorted— if you don’t know what pixel sorting is, it’s the process of isolating and sorting a span of pixels in a photo or footage by luminosity, hue, and/or saturation. It’s some really trippy stuff in motion, and the notion of something or someone melting in that fashion really interested me the more I thought about it. It’s unfortunate I couldn’t make it work in the final cut, but I’m more than stoked about this idea as a whole coming to fruition like it did.
