Experiencing Interruptions?

SWIM

Swim is a journey. The little fish swims from the depths of the ocean towards the surface and glimmers in the darkness. When the fish reaches the ocean surface, it jumps with joy, unaware of what lies above.
​
This film is made using the Traditional Method of animation, using straight-ahead animation. The medium of soft pastels over black chart paper is used to add to the narrative, as the erased drawings of the previous frames gives the fish a beautiful trail.
