Narratives of the

Unconscious ​

"Our minds are extraordinarily creative. They will create whether we ask them to or not, thoughts, pictures, ideas theses things are what our minds do all of their own accord.
We will spend the morning together exploring the creative power of our minds by tuning into our unconscious process and recording what we find."

My 3D Animation was inspired by the Hong Kong Director, Wan Kar Wei’s; his use of colours, his cinematography and storylines. 

Wong Kar-wai, BBS (born 17 July 1958) is a Hong Kong Second Wave filmmaker, internationally renowned as an auteur for his visually unique, highly stylized work, including As Tears Go By (1988), Days of Being Wild (1990), Ashes of Time (1994), Chungking Express (1994), Fallen Angels (1995), Happy Together (1997), 2046 (2004) and The Grandmaster (2013). His film In the Mood for Love (2000), starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung, notably garnered widespread critical acclaim.

Wong's films frequently feature protagonists who yearn for romance in the midst of a knowingly brief life and scenes that can often be described as sketchy, digressive, exhilarating, and containing vivid imagery.

 The backstory to my animation is as follows: a young woman, called Lisa lives with her boyfriend. They love each other very much but they also hurt each other. After one big argument, she is out of her mind and kills her boyfriend. The animation begins the moment after she’s killed her boyfriend. We find her in the living room where she stares outside, in a daze, trying to process what she has done. Then she smokes a joint to relax herself. She then gets up and walks slowly into the bedroom and stands in front of the dead body of her boyfriend and stares at it. Still in a daze, she sits on the bed and puts a gun inside her mouth and… boom. She kills herself. The camera then slowly pans in on a photo of the couple when they were happy. Although quite disturbing from one point of view, I am actually interested in the two sides of human nature and how love can turn to hate and hate turn to love and the tsunami of emotions of what we experience in between love and hate. Is there such thing as pure love? Pure hate? Perhaps that why we often label some relationships as “Love-hate Relationships.”
