Milo's 2015 album "So The Flies Don't Come," featuring "Napping Under the Echo Tree," inspired the direction and design of this short animation.
Milo meditates on the words of thinkers such as Heidegger and Nietzsche, attempting to place himself within their words. He stumbles through his rough outline of what he should be, much like the rough illustrations of this piece. He can see his way, and pops of color lead him there.

Utilizing both digital and analog art, and fusing them created the unique style of this animation. At three minutes, and being mostly hand drawn, I knew this animation would be challenging. In order to create realistic movements in the animations, I filmed several reference videos to give myself a foundation for drawing out each frame. With the reference material shot, I then went to After Effects, drawing out each frame by hand (or rather mouse). Some aspects of the animation, like the large explosions and the type, was done completely digitally. Some scenes, like the apartment building, required dynamic movement and accurate drawings, yet I had no way of filming this. Instead, I created a 3D model in Cinema 4D Lite and animated that to use as a reference. The combination of these tricks and effects created an animation that effectively tells a story, and has power. Big ideas can often be held back by a lack of equipment or skill, but there is always a way to accomplish them.
