St. Pancras station animation



Story line:

Person who is emocionaly empty sits in the St. Pancras railway station cafe. He has to leave his old life, and start a new one. He sits lonely and wonders in his mind, should he stay or go. He thinks that bottle of vine could help him to deside. He is lives so deep in his inner world that he event don't manage crowd passing by.
Character, looks in the glass and sees his face breaking and disapearing in some other reality.
Then his mind starts playing tricks with him. He feels stress. Then there is this train going trough his head. He realises, that there is nothing to do as leave his past and travel to the future. This is so hurtful that it makes him cry.

Reseach:

This animation is created as St. Pancras station project for making research as animated film. I had to go to station, make sketches with people, sketch interior and exterior. As well we had to record sound from station. For not missing story line I had to concentrate on crowd as individuals and trains which where the main sources for sound and creating characters.
I tried to make this short film simply as possible. As I am into abstract, sureal and experimental animation, I tried to make a stress on symbolism. It is great to hear all those different things what viewers think and how they feel your work. Symbolism helps to make a links between story and experience, life and individual position. Because every viewer is personality and everyone has different experience none will see something one and similar. That is the reason why this film don't have one obvious final. It is for everyone make theyr own final. Almost make theyr own story.
