Unraveled

Unraveled is a short animatic that captures a moment of emotional unraveling. While on the phone, a woman begins calmly searching for an important document on her cluttered desk. As she moves to the floor, digging through piles of books and papers, her frustration mounts. A tall stack of books topples over. Just when she thinks she's found the right one, her excitement turns to disappointment—it’s not what she was looking for. In a burst of anger, she hurls the book across the room. It strikes a bouncy ball, which rebounds and hits her squarely in the head. She collapses in pain, undone by the chaos she created.

The animated film was created to practice emotional pacing, focusing on the natural transitions between emotions - from calm to panic, anger and pain. The story is based on my daily life - my room is often a mess, and this chaotic vignette is a dramatized version of my real-life frustrations.
