(Long) A Man Walks Into A Bank, pre Covid 19, with a mask on, and alarm bells ring. The same man walks into the same bank post Covid 19, without a mask, and the same alarm bells ring.
The movie an observation that something that may be unusual or peculiar, or even illegal or wrong today in a certain setting, may seem normal or acceptable, or legal and right tomorrow in another setting.
Or the setting may stay the same but as the time changes, what was odd, strange, illegal or wrong at one time, is now normal, acceptable, legal and right in another time.
I am an illustrator and animator, and have been for 23 years. I was very influenced by Herge (creator of Tintin) as a child, and this influence comes through in a lot of the work I do.
I am also an African, and this influences my work too.
My background is in civil engineering, and I came to illustration and animation later in life, at around the age of 30 years old. I focus on good story telling. In my opinion, nice pictures without a strong story is less impactful than strong stories with average visuals. Story to me is key.
I am working on a few longer format and bigger projects, I always have a few projects (films) in creation at one time.
This is a short skit type animation, set around Covid-19
