My senior capstone film from 2023 is finally out! The team and I were waiting until festival season was over and wanted to publish it during Trans Visibility Week.

It's a surrealist fantasy film about identity, dysphoria, and everything that comes along with it in the early days of transition. We hope you love it.

Forgot to post these! Concepts of the two portions for the For Luna set. We’ve been using these to construct the the layout and eventually to emulate the feel in the film. This was a fun style to try out.

Production Update

It’s been a while since I’ve given an update on the production of Welcome to Mercury Bay. However, that’s due in part to the fact that the rest of the crew and I have been hard at work on the film. As of a two weeks ago, we began animation, officially beginning production! Our lead animator, Alex broke down the shots by difficulty and we have been using that to determine which animator will work on a shot. With my skill set, I have been able to take on both easy and intermediate shots and have done rough passes of several shots! At this point, we still need to have the facial rigs done, but they are not necessary at this point. We can still do plenty of physical acting with the rigs we have now. Now that we have entered production, this will be my main priority for the rest of the quarter.

Our Capstone film got awarded gold at the SCAD Senior Showcase last night. I’m honestly so floored and so incredibly grateful to have been able to work with such an amazing team these past six months! All the films in the showcase were amazing and I hope everyone knows how proud they should be of all of their hard work. Congrats to the other awardees: Cambrian Explosion and Pandamonium on bronze, Juanion on silver, and Mandrake for best of show!!!! Congrats to the entire graduated class of 2020!!!! We did it!!!!

Logline: Late for an important interview, a righteous college student anxiously decides if s/he should jaywalk. 

Theme: morality / society’s expectation 

In my home country, Bangkok, Thailand, cars don’t stop for pedestrians. Traffic is the worse and jaywalking is also very common. When I moved to Hong Kong for 1 year to pursue my studies at SCAD, the pedestrian crossing across the building has a pole with a button to press, and without pressing it, the lights would not signal the cars to stop. Most of the streets here in Savannah are similar to the ones in Hong Kong. Within these years, I witness different questionably funny scenarios at the pedestrian crossing. In some countries, enforced laws result in consequences for those who break the rules. This short- animated film will explore the theme of morality, society’s expectation, and the internal conflict of a righteous international college student who awaits at the lights while witnessing everybody else jaywalk. I have a few other ideas and loglines brainstormed, but this one is one of the simpler one which is more plausible to do for a CAPSTONE film. It is a personal experience relatable to the target audience (college students, and anyone who uses pedestrian crossing).  12/1/20 -Mimi Komthongchusakul     ANIM385

ACADEMIC BLOG POST 6- Representation: Shameless ENTER YOUR NAME Plug

The trailer for the undergraduate thesis film I worked on, ENTER YOUR NAME.

Last year, I had the pleasure of working on the senior capstone film ENTER YOUR NAME under director Aubrey Scott. The story centers around the adventure of a young trans woman in a surrealist landscape representing her mind as she confronts her identity, accompanied only by a talking sword, a symbol of her will to go on. As she journeys across the world, she is followed by something sinister, which, spoilers, is the manifestation of her gender dysphoria.

When I first heard the pitch, I was instantly sold on how important the story was, and so was the rest of the fantastically talented crew. Over the course of production, several of us felt comfortable enough to start embracing our own gender identities and we saw firsthand the impact of supporting members of the transgender community-- from audiences and crew alike.

This is the character sheet I drew of Null, the film's protagonist. I worked with our director Aubrey and the crew to hammer down a design that could work for animation and still fit within the aesthetic parameters of the film.

Conversely, this is Chris's character sheet for Waking Null, or how the protagonist looks in real life pre-transition. The crew worked together closely to pin down a design that would be masculine enough to inspire dysphoria within Null, and yet familiar enough to be recognized as the same person. Depiction matters immensely in this film, and it was important to us to get this design right.

Body horror is a huge theme in media depicting the trans experience, and it's no different for our film. Below is early concept art for the character Null is confronted by at the climax of her nightmare, dubbed Masc (for masculine). This is a perversion of how Null sees herself and feels disconnected from her own body.

Concept art for Masc the film's antagonist, by Jaime Rodriguez

Working on this film and revisiting the process for this post inspired me a lot. It's necessary for us as artists to keep in mind that images matter, especially when they depict members of marginalised communities. Seeing positive depictions of oneself on-screen means the world to so many people, and I hope always to keep the best interests of those I draw at heart.

While ENTER YOUR NAME is not officially released due to film festival season, I'll update this blog as soon as it's out!

End Credits for ENTER YOUR NAME with drawings of the crew, from left to right: Rye Summers, Jaime Rodriguez, Allie James (me), Giselle Estevez, Chris Janelle, Aubrey Scott, Scott Perry, Evie Shih, Faith Nana, Ana Pacheo, and our supervisor Michelle Tessier.

Through the Looking Glasses Student Film Background Design

I've been working on a few different senior capstone films at SCAD over the past year, and Through the Looking Glasses has been my most recent one! I helped to guide the art direction a bit during the beginning of my time on the project, and I've continued to draw multiple backgrounds such as this one. We've been doing a lineless style with stylistic textures. I didn't draw the poster designs in this background, but I'm responsible for all the rest of this design! The first image is the final image, and then after that was my process through bringing the piece to a rendered finish.

2020 Best Bachelor’s in Animation Programs

Click here to learn more about the ranking methodology that we used to compile this list.

Congratulations! If you represent a college or university that is included in this list, please collect your seal below.

Are you thinking of applying to a bachelor’s program in animation? Well, you have made an excellent degree choice, as this industry is in a state of extreme growth. Because of this, a lot of schools have outstanding BFA and BA programs in animation, and guess what? We have created a list of 2020’s best bachelor’s in animations programs.

Brigham Young University – Brigham Young University’s BFA in Animation has a limited enrollment. Students are accepted into the pre-major, must fulfill the requirements, and apply at the end of 1st term Fall or Winter semesters. Once approved, students have access to everything the BYU Center of Animation has to offer both artistically and technologically for the animation, live-action, special effects, and game industries.

California College of the Arts – Designed to educate students on how to animate for both TV and film, the Animation program at the California College of the Arts teaches 2D animation, 3D animation, animation for video games, stop-motion animation, and more. CCA offers an open-lab environment where students can work on state-of-the-art equipment, including 24-inch Cintiq monitors, a Foley room, sound studio, and more.

Cleveland Institute of Art  – The Cleveland Institute of Art’s Animation Department is driven by the goal of producing professional content and puts an emphasis on storytelling.
