vui zvui gfui – 2005 animated short

Posted on by

ok, here’s a blast from the past:

“vui zvui gfui” is a ~6 min. 2D animated short and my 2005 final thesis at the faculty of design at the augsburg university of applied sciences. it’s kind of a silly story of love…and the dangers of eating wild mushrooms. you can tell that i had to go really fast with this but it also adds something to the look of the film that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. sometimes tough deadlines have their merits i guess…the entire thing had to be finished within ~4 months.
