Out of Touch

Share Collapse

An experimental film produced with a team of classmates and friends for Savannijam 2022, a 24-hour animation jam held yearly at the Savannah College of Art and Design. The theme this year was "out of touch", and I wanted to make it about how I felt a little out of touch with my surroundings after COVID quarantine restrictions were lifted. For this film implemented a bunch of different artstyles and techniques. Animation was produced in Harmony, Procreate, and traditionally, on paper.

Some of the drawings could be better, but they sure are good enough for a 24h animation!

It doesn't matter that much anway, since the storyboard is so well-made & reliable, and not only for the COVID quarantine, I might add. Everyone who has to battle depression knows the feeling of not being able to leave the house, feelin' loney, helpless, worthless - "out of touch" with yourself and everyone else!

And then, when you finally find the inner strength to go out again, meeting old friends can give you new hope and self-confidence, that's what I thought when I saw that little smile of the main character at the end.

Since you carry such a strong, true and helpful message within your submission, I can give nothing else but 5 stars, keep up the good work, mate!

Your take is pretty much exactly how I felt when making this. This was made right when on-ground classes started back up and I got very disconnected with my surroundings, my peers, and many of my interests (including art!). My friends kept me grounded in so many ways throughout the entire pandemic. I’m really happy the story was able to communicate to you the things I was feeling. Thank you for your feedback!

Fantastic! Keep up the great work

Five stars, loved it

Wow, this touched a dark place in my soul. I have no friends to speak of myself as I have gotten older, covid destroyed my business, career, etc. The difficulties of connecting with people as they are only concerned with money making or themselves... I appreciate this reflection of want many people such a myself have to go through each day.

Good Job. I loved it. Every Bit of it. Your class and friends should be proud.

SpiggyG responds:

I’m really glad the story connected with you, we were pretty proud of the end result too! Thank you for the review man
