Firstly, what is a Haiku? Google translates it as : a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world.
Now creating a Haiku, which to anyone, sounds like an easy job... well in fact, it's not. Sure anyone can make a 17 syllable poem - 3 lines in total, right? But does it actually fall into the characteristics of what a haiku is?
Unlike contemporary anime, which are crystal clear, I chose to leave mine in more of a raw format - my sketchy drawing style. Drawings were taken into Photoshop, after which After Effects was used for the animation.
The Final Haiku,
The Morning Light Shines,
My Life is Split, Scattered,
I Beg for Tranquility.
After a lot of experimenting, trials and errors and opinions from others, I came to realise I do not want to colour the whole animation, nor did I want to reflect an anime as they are now but instead adapt and evolve it into my own style.
In my honest opinion, this animation is classed as complete, but it's far from it.
