Synopsis
This project is an animated short, showcasing character acting and adaptation from a stand-up comedy performance. The key areas focused on are: character performance, cinematography, comedic storytelling and adaptation. The short focuses on a snippet of Russell Howard’s Recalibrate. Russell is waiting for a train at Bristol train station and having his photo taken without consent. Unsurprisingly, Russell has something to say about it…
Project Motivation
I have always loved watching cartoons and animated films. The characters are allowed to be much more expressive, and reality can be pushed aside to create really unique entertainment. I wanted to push myself to create something really enjoyable to watch and develop my character acting further. I love watching stand-up and being able to adapt a section of a stand-up special has made this project a blast to work on.
