One Location
I found an old teddy bear which was given to me for my third birthday. I wanted to create a film about a child's connection to an inanimate object and how they concentrate their emotions with the object.
Dialogue
Two people to meet through social media (Instagram) over their passion for nature. On social media they can act as if they are best friends or a building relationship which hasn’t bloomed yet whereas in reality they act like complete strangers not knowing anything about each other.
Final major project
I wanted to get a compilation of pets in which I could put voice overs on them to make the video more enjoyable to watch, similar to Walk on the wild side.
