We were so honored to speak with our friend Elisha Wang, a Chinese-Canadian 2D/3D animation artist and graduate from Sheridan College. Read along as she goes behind the scenes of her 2021 thesis, Bipolar! Thanks for walking us through your work, Elisha! Say hi to her over at @orangesegments. What was some of your inspiration going into your thesis film Bipolar? Dance was something I grew up with from a very young age. I did six years of Chinese traditional dance in my earlier years and later discovered pole dance in college! When I was trying to decide what to do for my thesis film, it always came back to dance because it was something I was truly passionate about. How did you begin the process of developing your film? Being tasked with making a full film was very daunting, but with any project, you start with a plan! Especially for a dance film where there isn’t really a solid story. I had to figure out what exactly made choreography so appealing. How did you tackle the concept and design for your main character? I didn’t have too hard of a time coming up with designs as there was only one character. The real challenge was adapting her design to many different styles throughout the film. Thank you for reading! You can find her finished film on YouTube now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A1rEZdTcBY You can reach her at: [email protected] Writers: Jordan (@deadswampsofsadness) | Point Person: Gaby, AIA Team
