Director & Animator

When I Met God is an experimental animated short built around an imagined conversation with the Almighty. During my exchange semester in Switzerland, I painted every frame directly in acrylic on glass.

When I Met God is an experimental animated short built around an imagined conversation with the Almighty. During my exchange semester in Switzerland, I painted every frame directly in acrylic on glass.

THE CHALLENGE

I wanted the animation to behave like a conversation: spontaneous, unstable, emotional, and sometimes contradictory. Working with wet acrylic on glass meant each frame physically destroyed or transformed the one before it, making the process part of the film.

WHAT I DID

✦ Developed the concept
✦ Wrote and structured the conversation
✦ Directed the film
✦ Hand-painted the animation in acrylic on glass
✦ Shot the animation frame by frame
✦ Edited the final film
✦ Developed the sound and final presentation
