Connection is a romantic little tale about two strangers, a Guy and a Girl subconsciously linked as they sleepwalk around the city.

As Guy and Girl slink about in their PJ’s (with a few well-crafted accessories), sharing parallel experiences, drawn to each other, they finally come face to face in the park.

Sharing a moment, the two move in on each other, only to clash causing them to wake up from their sleep and realise where they are, what they are wearing and more to the point wondering who is this person in front of them?

This short film uses the technique of stop motion and pixelation, meaning it was shot using a sequence of still images that allowed me to create a stilted movement building upon the dreamy tone for this project.

I guess my rationale for this film in relation to the four pillars of Samsung’s LED is that we are all inexplicably connected, but sometimes we need a little bit of help getting it started.
