"Mind The Gap" which was my bachelor graduation film at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz, shows the boy TJ who, with the help of his creativity and imagination, emerges from his dreary everyday life into a completely bizarre world and perceives his entire surroundings differently.
The film shows how important imagination can be in everyday life.
The protagonist TJ is sitting at a train station at night. When his train arrives and he gets on, he seems to be the only passenger. Out of boredom, he starts sketching in his notebook. When he looks up briefly, he is startled to find that the train is suddenly filled with curious characters.
Not all of the passengers are pleased by the boy's presence ...
My short film "Mind The Gap" - developed in the tradition of the Cel animation technique - was produced exclusively on my iPad with the creative app "Procreate".
