Abstract

Darker Than Blue is a 3D animation short film that explores the psychological experience of despair through the eyes of a young woman named Ella. This project was created with the goal of increasing awareness about mental health concerns and inspiring empathy and understanding for those who suffer in silence. The animation serves as a tool to create deeper talks about mental health, which is increasingly important topic in today’s culture. The production followed a disciplines animation workflow which included design of concepts, scriptwriting, storyboarding, 3D modelling, rigging, animation, rendering and post – production. Major results show that abstract visual metaphors such as drowning, darkness and physical isolation can effectively express the weight and complexity of depressed symptoms. The project demonstrates how animation may effectively depict mental health narratives. Darker Than Blue’s symbolic and sensory approach not only promotes awareness, but also contributes to larger discourses about emotional vulnerability, providing viewers with a meaningful and introspective experience.
