Little World is a 12-second looping animation of a mermaid stalking a yellow submarine through the deep sea. As a viewer, you watch the scene through the silhouette of a deep-sea diver’s helmet as if watching from afar. The goal of this project was to create a 10-15 second looping animation of an environment through the lens of silhouette that adds something to the animation’s story. The feel of the piece was intended to be ominous, but with a cartoon-like wonder. Therefore, character inspiration for this animation came from cartoons like Adventure Time and mermaid media like the mockumentary “Mermaids: The Body Found.” Additionally, to inform the visual style of the animation, I referenced images of the deep sea, ship wrecks, and existing vector animations of underwater scenes on YouTube.
