Communication objective
This short film is about a day in a life of a regular guy and how he interacts with the environment around him. It's about how one's mind can be powerful enough to alter one's environment. I tried to convey the message that it's up to us to make a difference in our lives and model it the way we want it to be.

Tools used
I used Adobe® Premiere® to capture the video footage and perform all the editing. I exported frames into Adobe Photoshop®, where I added filters to change the footage. I also used Adobe Illustrator® to create the vector graphics. Finally, the image sequences were imported into After Effects®, and I animated the graphics with the video footage.
