Long Way Around - a CGI short film

This is a night journey through the 90s and post-modern culture.

This project wants to explore visual storytelling within the use of cinemagraphs, creating a suspended nocturnal atmosphere with the help of looped animations.

The environments are chosen among the typical USA road trip scenarios: architectures experienced as non-places by Marc Augé and perceived as monuments on the highway: the gas station, the motel, the laundromat.

This project has been made during my studies at Master Architettura Digitale MADI at Università Iuav di Venezia, with supervision from Silvia Tossici (Squint/Opera) and Alessandro Cannavà (Truetopia).

Sound design by Sassan Salamian.
