Everybody has his or her favorite piece of clothing. The way too old band shirt, which has irrevocably absorbed a discreet whiff of sweat and beer. The ugly Christmas sweater that you would love to wear as early as September, but don't want to line up with the overzealous gingerbread fanatics. Or, the pants that definitely fit really well and flawlessly a year ago without any problems.
I do get dizzy, yes, but they should absolutely be like that! Now, this sounds more barbaric than it really is. After a few years of working, I noticed that my animation dream was still floating around. Luckily, I was accepted to Filmakademie and in , I started studying here.
I don't know exactly. One evening, the idea suddenly popped into my head when my boyfriend was sitting next to me. I thought, "Oh, he's so cute. Wouldn't it be nice if he was my coat and I could take him and wear him everywhere! Basically, yes. But they only share what they want to share with each other. Because they respect their respective wills. However, it ended up taking three months. That was very frustrating because I didn't know when I would finally be done with the film.
In the end, I was happy with the result; I think the extra time was worth it. Another problem was that I only had a very rough animatic at the beginning, which I kept working on during production.
The danger was that until the very end, I never really knew whether the film is going to work properly at all. The time pressure mentioned above did the rest. In the end, however, this also had its advantages: I wasn't just working off an initial idea, but could flexibly introduce new ideas during the production process. That really motivated me. Of course, I could only make the film this way because I was working on it alone.
