Director’s Statement

Procreate on iPad was used to individually draw each element of the paintings (new and old). The classical paintings had to be entirely digitally redrawn and repainted by me, from scratch using the originals as references.

Adobe After Effects was used for compositing work and more digital animation. 2D digitally painted elements animated and positioned within a 3D environment.

Adobe Animate was used for some minor frame-by-frame elements.

Logic Pro X was used to create the soundtrack.
