A-1,  an android who wakes up and finds herself in an apocalyptic world. She could only faintly remember her past after being turned off for a hundred years. With only a family photo as her lead, she makes it her goal to travel along the broken world to rediscover herself and her past.

Produced by Benny Chen, Eric Kang and Devanshu Patel.

My research question asks, ‘In what way can I convey a non-verbal blossoming bond between an android and a cat, in a post-apocalyptic narrative using hybrid animation in a short film. The project experimented with storytelling within the length of a short film and combined 2d and 3d techniques. My role in this project was animating Tulu, the cat-like creature, creating 3d models for the interior environments, music and video editing, and animating the 2d water effects.
