How do we cherish a love that is ephemeral?

 

​Major Project: Diploma Level 02 - semester 02.
​

Produced with: Sean Chong Jing Yung

​

Project Brief: to create a 1-minute trailer from a 3 to 5-minute animation; inspired from 1969 to 1979 songs.

​

Synopsis: The story is about cherishing each other before it's too late. In this planet, there were aliens born with limited lifespan. These two aliens are a couple named Eek (guy) and Aya (girl). They have a countdown device attached on their bodies. Green color signifies you're safe, while red, signifies that your life is about to end soon. Eek has the idea to build a device that can prolong their life. He has decided to challenge their fate. But the day he has this idea is the day he gets further from Aya, and here the conflict comes in.

 

​The title 'e•Liens' is a combination of two words, e stands for ephemeral and Lien is a french word which means bond, the meaning behind the title explains the whole story itself.
