We placed the creative decisions in the hands of our followers and the wider community. This was by creating a range of designs for backgrounds, characters and colour variations which the public could vote upon. We asked the community questions about their perceptions of homeless people, scouted common locations, and worked out the best story possible to provide knowledge on how to help the homeless!
What comes together is a really nice collage of ideas, influences and styles, using humour and emotion to to bring together very disparate hand-drawn animated styles into a singular vision, shaped by the people of Norwich and beyond.
This Friday's premier is Norwich Love Letter, directed by Finley Geen. A university final film, the project was a cathartic one, putting our thoughts and feelings about our time here into a nostalgic, honest and poetic exploration of the people, places and times that effected us most. Through good and bad, Norwich Love Letters less romanticises the city, as to show one small perspective and the impact a place has on people. Enjoy!
