​
This is my first personal animation short film. A three minute stop motion graduation project at University of West Attica. It has received 32 awards and has been selected in 150 festivals
Four people and the time they spend in an elevator. Inspired by everyday life and by the difference in people's behavior when they are alone, in contrast to the socially acceptable behavior that individuals adopt when in public space and especially in the confined and always awkward setting of an elevator.
