"Poor" Thoughts

2024 - Video - Experimental - Student project




This is a group project I work on with two other designers Peter and Tuan. Our endeavour is a narrative experiment that mostly utilizes visual effects. The so-called short film tells the tale of a teenager's irrational thinking around three in the morning, which could eventually lead to the trippiest experiment that is seen on screen.

The work is titled Poor Thoughts and focuses on the themes of "Growth, Chaos, and Evolution". The story's theme is that the main character is around our age and is about to take the crucial shift from adolescence to maturity. The visual will be a companion piece that aims to express the fundamental subject of the narrative diversely and more ambitiously, allowing viewers to build their perspective of the story.
