On April 16th of 2014, heartbreaking accident happened in Korea.
One Ferry with about 3-400 innocent people were aboard got sunk due to several preventable wrong doings by some people. Among those few hundreds of people, only 176 people survived. The main reason why this incident brought the whole South Korea in deep sadness is because most of the lives that were trapped inside the ship were 17-year-old students.
Even though I was far away from Korea, I was strongly effected by the tragedy. I've been feeling down for a few days and I wanted to do something about the topic.
For the Final Project, I knew I am going to do something along the line of graphic novel or animation, because of my strong affection toward web comics and animation. Also, I wanted to extend more with the graphic novel assignment we had previously. Though I knew about the method, I had no idea what the story would be until the incident.
Knowing that the topic is very heavy(once again...) I tried to come up with new ideas, but I could not. I strived until last Saturday night trying to force my brain to come up with some bright and happy plots, but I failed. So I chose this heavy and gloomy topic.
The plot is about how the survivor of the incident would face after they go back to their home. I cannot dare to fully understand what kind of emotional torments they would go through, but the image of empty class kept crawl back into my mind so I had to go for this storyline.
There will be three different series of images in the video. One will be the images of the incidents and they will be drawn with acrylic or with computer and they would have very rough quality with harsh brushstrokes etc...
The other series would be life before the incident. This series would be drawn with pencil and colored with pastel or watercolor.
The last series would be a life after the event. These will be drawn only with black lines.
Those images would come and go through out the video making the video have nonlinear quality.
