This short film captures the beauty and power of the present—a small glimpse into simple and beautiful moments. I knew I wanted my senior project to be more personal, so I incorporated my own footage and photography, creating a film that’s almost like a time capsule of moments that mean a lot to me. This project was inspired by Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now."

In order to connect all the different mediums of live action, stop motion, and 3D, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to mix warm and cool tones to define the treatment of my piece. This dreamy, bluish tone helped to romanticize the different moments and create a cohesive look.
