Wrong Reflection- Short Film

My FMP project from my last year at university.
The sound, poem, narration, animation and set construction all created by me. It was such a fun experience and I would love to explore the world a little more.

"i hate my face and i hate my hair, i wished my body looked like theirs. but i know no amount of makeup or what style i change my hair to can hide my thoughts of disgust, or my wish to start anew" that was so beautifully said🙁

Thank you! I'm not much of a poet but it was really interesting to try. Definitely some lines that hit a little harder lol

This does such a great job at capturing how overwhelming self hatred feels. This is fantastic.

[@Summer_animations]

Thank you! i'm glad you think so :)

This is an amazing culmination of all the hard work you've put in over the years. The animation is so well done, the SFX and background music are beautiful and the raw humanity of your voice is relatable for such topics. I am so proud of you for putting your work out there and getting through what you do! Brilliant work as ever Summer :)
Also your art style is so cute and very you

I’m always reminded every time i look in the mirror, i have a different perspective of myself in my head. It’s shocking. I try to burn the image that i look like what i see in the mirror but damn its hard. I can imagine myself looking and feels like a queen. Look in the mirror and bam..sack of potato. Most times I don’t even look in the mirror, if that would make me feel pretty.

[@Summer_animations]

Yeah, mirrors have always been an issue which is what inspired this. The contrast is always so jarring and can really ruin any mood which definitely sucks. I do hope that one day it'll become easier for you and i am positive you look better than a sack of potatoes

[@user-ne1yq2xu5r]

@@Summer_animations yeah.. maybe one day 😊

[@anne_thecrackhead4640]

[@Summer_animations]

Aw thank you so much! I definitely plan on exploring stop motion more and possibly even expanding this story as well :)

[@Summer_animations]

Thank you! im glad you think so :)

[@stellastica]

This is so well made and the feelings and hurt in the voice really delivers the real feeling ;-;

[@Summer_animations]

Thank you! It was a big hurdle to get over having to listen to myself over and over again, but im glad it works well :)

[@stellastica]

​@@Summer_animations Putting the self deprecating thoughts out to the world sounds so scary to me but I'm glad you created something out of it :> because of this so many people can understand and not feel alone in this world

[@loseractivities]

[@Summer_animations]

I hope this has provided you with a little comfort. you're not alone with this

[@sunnieburp]
