Litost - Short Animation (2020)

My premasters project, supervised by Andreas Marterer

Description: This project is a very important and personal project for me, because it's inspired by my struggles with anxiety. I wanted to visualize how I feel in order to show people how much anxiety affects our bodies, and that it's not "just worrying too much".

Inspirations: "Touch" by Sleeping at Last and Inner Working (Disney short animation)

Synopsis: Litost is an untranslatable Czech word which means a state of sudden torment and agony created by the sudden sight of one’s own misery. The film is a journey inside the mind of Character who struggles with Generalized Anxiety Disorder; it shows a glimpse of the different stages of anxiety that happen on her mind leaving her in a vicious anxiety-depression loop.
