Rotkind
‘Rotkind’ is a short stop-motion animated film by three animation students:
Anej Golčar
Tatevik Martirosyan
Eva Schets
After the sudden death of his authoritarian mother, 60-year-old Harold slowly gains his independence though finding his own voice.
60-year-old Harold still lives with his elderly mother. She has been an authoritarian mother who has always put her passion for vases above her son. As a result, Harold still believes he depends on her and cannot make autonomous decisions. The figure of a revolting and disrespectful teenage neighbor awakens Harold’s desire to emancipate right before his mother passes away. Now, abruptly liberated Harold, steps upon a path of coming to terms with his independence, leaving behind his mother’s rules and money.
During this project my main roles were to design and fabricate the puppets and animation. You can see more of my work at www.evaschets.nl
The film will be premiered at the graduation show. Until then; take a look at some behind the scenes footage:
