Artist’s Statement

Krissy’s recent animation Alienated has been shown at film festivals and has won Best Comedy Award at the Animation Expose at the University of Hertfordshire.

Krissy’s main role for this short film was to animate the character,

“I had a lot of fun exploring Al’s personality and human-like habits, and tried to show this through things like his body language and eye-contact, or even lack of eye-contact as he was a very shy character. I think these personality traits made the character more relatable and enjoyable for people to watch.”

“I learnt a lot from this project. I faced new challenges and set-backs, as all film makers do, and it really showed me what I was capable of. I feel very proud to have animated Al, and hope to animate more great characters like him in the future.”
