Film Description:
Our world is busy, lonely, and exhausting.
It is so common for us to go through a rough day, come home and lay on our bed with tears and sweats, then simply complain to ourselves, “ugh, what a day”.
Have you ever thought about, what if everyday in your life is considered a “what a day” does it mean that it eventually piles up and results in an unfulfilling, frustrating, tiring life?
Sometimes, we all feel like we need a big change, or to simply give up. But giving up also means to give up all the colorful, intriguing elements around you. However, simultaneously those colors might also be the roots for our sadness in the first place.
Should we choose to live in the moment, or to look at the big picture? Should we complain about life for the energy it sucks away from us, or to only appreciate the colors within? This animation I made serves as an exploration of those concepts, and hopefully can guide you into making your own decision.
