Haze
Haze is a short experimental animation comprised of abstract forms, colors, movements, mental projections, and brief moments from old home movie recordings. Blurred and clouded by layers of digital, hand-drawn lines and marks, it attempts to capture a semblance of nostalgia, and the fleeting character of thoughts and memories.
