H DOP: n/a Sound: Debrup Bag Editor: Sibin Anto. M., Jithindas. C. H Production Designer : n/a Synopsis: This animated short reveals the tastes of horror with the help of ambiguity between comedy and the super-natural. This is why it was named "Black O' White". The story is inspired from a personal experience in which I was continuously facing difficulty in crossing a road during rush hours. As the element of horror was to be experimented with, the aspect of peak hours in a city, which is cliche, is turned off. Instead, we see a lane which is fully empty in terms of traffic. Our protagonist tries to cross the road and faces the same difficulties as I experienced. There is a message in this short as well, about zebra crossings which we often overlook in our day to day lives. Watch this short to know what finally happens to our pedestrian in his quest to cross the street. |
