Immersion

Immersion is first-time filmmaker Megann Reid's intimate and personal experience of the solitude and warmth in a bath. Drawn with watercolour pencil crayons on frosted acetate, the animation was done under a digital camera and made to move in After Effects. The drawings were layered, with a sheet of clear acetate on top upon which was poured the 'honey bubble love.'

This animated short was made for Hothouse 2, the NFB’s program for emerging filmmakers, whose central theme was “Water and Our Relationship to It.”.Technique: Pencil and honey on frosted cel, digital finishing
