End in a box

Final animation from a collaborative project with Moira Lam and Jack Hughes:

'The End is Nigh...'

'The End is Nigh...'

Here are some of my designs and research for a collaborative project between animators and illustrators. The brief was to create a short looping animation which represented the end of the world according to the Mayan long count calendar: 12/21/2012
We decided to use Jack in a Box's -that never fully open- as a metaphor. People think the world is going to end, they don't know when it will happen, it hasn't happened yet.
