“Silhouette" is a PSA about mental health that uses an animated silhouette to represent depression and suicidal thoughts. The PSA teaches about recognizing the signs of depression, and how a single act of love can’t be enough to save someone.
As someone who was formally depressed and knows people with depression, I’d like to use my art to uplift people going through a very dark time in their lives. I see this PSA as a love letter to anyone out there who feels like an empty silhouette.
This was a shot I did from a horror movie/short I had an idea for. I mainly just created it as a proof of concept.
Figuring out how to accomplish this shot as a one man crew was a very fun challenge.
The shot and concept were very heavily inspired by Persona
