Kindred (2017 Graduate Film)

Фильм және анимация

HEY here's my graduate film that I made in 2017 when I graduated from the Bachelor of Design (Animation and Interactive Media) at RMIT! It's about gender euphoria, and the little everyday things that help trans people feel more like themselves.
I had originally planned to make some changes before going public with it, but I've been so busy that I figured it was finally time to upload the film as-is. I hope you like it!

    There's something about this animation that isn't only inspiring but also.... Comfy? It has a close to home vibe, lowkey feels like I'm being invited too.

    This is so beautiful! I actually started crying while watching it. It's so warm and feels like being home to watch. I hope one day I can be as happy and at peace with myself as your beautiful animation feels!

    This is honestly such an incredible piece in so many ways. It displays competence in many aspects of animation and design, and is a perfect example of visual storytelling without any dialog. Just beautiful, just perfect. I expect nothing more, or less from someone so talented.

    Absolutely beautiful. I still remember the way I felt the first time I tried on a binder nearly 3 years ago. Gender euphoria is a wonderful and special thing. Thank you for making this

    This is so sweet and wholesome. I'm saving up for top surgery and it feels like it's such a hopeless thing sometimes because it costs so much money, but seeing things like this reminds me that this is the kind of future I want. And will have! Thanks so much for making this, it's so nice to see people like me in sweet videos.

    Yeah it is about gender euphoria. When finally the body matches the image in your mind. Like when you the first time get a haircut, making you look like a guy, or get a binder and you look flat (transmasculin) or get into this nice skirt what lets you look curvy (transfeminin)
