CGI Animated Shorts : Listen - by Alexander Bernard & Marisabel Fernandez

Check out this fantastic Senior Thesis - Animated short film by the talented Alexander Bernard & Marisabel Fernandez! Imagine living a life where the world you perceive and experience around you is entirely different than that of your peers, and your family — where you feel… misunderstood. Autism is the one of the highest growing serious developmental disabilities today. Our wish with this piece is to give a glimpse into the lives of children living with Autism and, in any way we can, to inspire positive change through a deeper tolerance and understanding. For our senior film, we have chosen to represent an extreme case: life through the eyes of a child who is non-verbal, and her constant struggle to cope with the world around her. We understand that Autism is complex, and has a wide spectrum; this film is meant only as an interpretation inspired by our research and time spent within the Autism community. Directed and Produced by Marisabel Fernandez and Alexander Bernard at Ringling College of Art and Design. This piece was created as part of a year long senior project. We used a combination of Software to create this piece. Cinema 4D for 3d animation. Adobe Illustrator CC was used to vector and design certain components of the film. Photoshop CC was used for additional design development and cell animation. After Effects CC was used to both animate and perform post production needs and Editing was done in Premiere CC.
