ABOUT

A short student film made independently after half a year of planning, concept designs, and storyboarding.

Based on the Japanese folk phenomenon 'Ōmagatoki', Twilight Town centres around a young girl's misadventures in the spirit world after staying outside for too long.

As my most significant project in recent years, a range of techniques were utilised to showcase the depth of my skills. Rotorscoping took a big role in development, as well as a parallax effect to draw audiences into the layers of the film.

Japanese kabuki theatre, folk stories, Shintoism, and Studio Ghibli were major inspirations in the making of Twilight Town.

The project was completed in June 2021 with high praise.
