Politica Trailer
The trailer for my animated short, Politica, which features clips from the film and a score from my composer Chuko Kpolugbo. The visuals were created by utilizing digital 2D animation imported into a 3D environment in the software Adobe After Effects. Due to the film being submitted to film festivals, full viewing of the work can be only seen at the Student Show Case screening.

Project Description
Adam Schwartz’s thesis film, Politica, explores the angry discord political factions have towards each other in a stylistic British Parliamentary system of government. Utilizing hand drawn and painted digital animation, Adam Schwartz builds a fantasy world whereby creatures with pointy edges are Members of a Parliamentary assembly which takes place in a cave/House of Commons where various parties face off against each other only to be dissolved by their King.
