Inspiration for 'Isolation'

Some of the inspiration that came to my mind when thinking of a concept for the animation was a to make it simple and monochromatic like the bit of the shadows on the corpse bride song (remains of the day, starts at 0:45... good song though).

Then also remembered the video that appear on the Harry potter and the deadly hollows called The Tale of the Three Brothers.
Even thought that one was made on 3D , the concept of having very strong profiles without colours or detailed expressions push the animator to use techniques more theatrical since all the emotions have to be expressed with the bodies of the characters.

Finally, and because of our lack of experience, I moved to something more easy to animate, but keeping the simplicity concept. That's when Gary mentioned the open sequence of 300 and if resembled of something more closer to what I thought we could achieve.

Again, my experience on animation on After Effects is almost nothing, but thanks to some tutorials online, help from friends and loads of trial-and-error practice I think I got the hang of at least basic stuff and getting really familiar with the interface.
