This is a work in progress animation that explores how a character who interacts with an area and plane as if they are part of the same reality of the audience may increase empathy.It also focuses on providing an immersive space where the viewer may become a bystander in the story. One of the most significant challenges with this project is making the immersion feel natural and not distract from the story. To do this, I am exploring ways to direct the viewer through the space by controlling the direction of the sound, color, and placement of images on each panel. A more successful aspect of the experience is when a viewer can focus on one animated action while being immersed in a consistent view of the scene. The work on exhibit is a combination of completed, test, and storyboard panels.
