Research and Mood boards collected from both animation films and live action films:
We borrowed an old Volvo car for reference pictures and videos.
then, we made research of different camera angles and began to draw some storyboard thumbnails.
Talented co-director, Lee Dror , designed the characters, car surroundings and props. then we made a color board to test the scale of colors during the changing atmosphere and time between each scene.
Animation process - references+rough sketches+clean up:
For the world outside the car, we made a decision to use live footage- for efficiency purposes.
Mirrors had audiences around the globe in festivals. It made us very proud!
