Description
"Disconnect" (2011) is an animated film I created/directed, exploring themes of depression and loneliness. The protagonist - Malcolm - struggles with his inability to connect with the world and the people around him.This was my graduation film for Emily Carr and took about 8 months to complete. To date it's the largest project I've worked on. I feel I could have done better, but I'm still very proud I what I managed to accomplish.
Special Thanks to my family and friends for putting up with me during the process.

Created With: 3D Studio Max 2011, Adobe Photoshop CS3/CS5, Adobe After Effects CS4/CS5, Adobe Premier CS5

This is an awesome moment, I love how you ease the features onto her face instead of just, BAM! IT'S A PERSON! because that would have been really bad this is a really cool animation you did

This actually made me cry a little. The emotion portrayed in the animation felt like the life I have to deal with now. It's beautifully done, it really reaches out to you, and the flow of it all is amazing. This is probably one of the best, if the the best animation I've seen on this site, and I applaud you with both my hands and heart for making such a beautiful animation. I was really touched by this piece, and I hope to see more beautiful animations from you in the future.
Good luck and congratulations on your Daily Deviation!

Very well done. I was a bit confused at first but I'm just a bit slow so that's just a reflection of me. Flawless animation.

The absence of dialog was a nice touch to the short.
