My First Crush

This short film is called 'My First Crush', and is again a reminiscence, except this time about people's first crush, with animations of animals as the visual.


Again this short film can't be uploaded, but this is the link

The visual of this film is a series of cartoon animals on pretty simple backgrounds, and the audio is a variety of people talking about their first encounters with love. This means that the people retain anonymity, and all the audience know of their personal details is their first name. This ability to remain anonymous, could mean that the people were more willing to share their stories, and the fact they don't actually have to be on camera, could have persuaded them to do it in the first place. The animation also relates to the overall 'childlike' and 'innocent' feel of the film, and adds an interesting dimension I feel, to the standard interview style of most documentary style short films.
