How to make Sushi from jonathan lindgren on Vimeo.

During the autumn of 2018, I designed a couple of frames based on the premise of a Sushi-chef. I grew really fond of them and a simple story kind of evolved from that. From just being a couple animation-tests, to a 2 minute short-film.

Always being inspired by Japanese animation, this turned into an emulation of many years of reading manga and watching anime. Also seeing how the amazing craftsmanship and graphic design was used in Isle of Dogs definitely influenced me a lot while making this. Mixing that with my own style of design animation, it finally took this shape.

To develop a fitting score and sound design for this quirky project, I worked closely with Luke Brown from The Soundery. 

Thanks to a lot of consultation and translation from Taishi Yagyu, we could hire the wonderfully talented VO-artist Yoshi Amao, who delivered a performence me and Luke couldn't have hoped for. Giving life to this character we had just seen the upper body of for about a year.

Graphika Manila 2018 Title Sequence from Eugene Gauran on Vimeo.

This title sequence plays with the concept of taking terrain detail from notable landmarks from the Philippines and fusing them with other natural features found in other parts of the world. It's something I've always imagined to be an idea worth exploring. Our character discovers spheres at each stop, all seemingly having something to do with how the topography is shaped or developed.

The piece is a figurative nod to the process of exploring and discovering ideas. On a personal level, this project comes at a time where I was craving a huge jolt in creativity. Having documented my recent road trips has expanded my desire to study scale and composition. Most importantly, it reinforced my belief that distance and difference are the secret tonic to creativity.
