POLICE BRUTALITY MUST STOP
Animation short film:
“Police Brutality Must Stop” is a powerful and personal animation short film honoring my deep connection to Greece. As an artist, I often find myself caught between the desire to express my feelings and the reluctance to engage politically. But in 2020, as the world faced unprecedented challenges, I could no longer remain silent about the violence that plagued my home country.
This short film is my response to the disturbing images of police brutality and the deep divisions of Greek society. It’s a plea for peace, unity, and the understanding that no one is superior to another, regardless of their background, beliefs, or identity. We are all here for a fleeting moment, and violence will never be the answer.
Creative Process:
Inspired by a similar piece by Daryl Martijn Van Beek, I wanted to create something impactful yet swift. Using Blender, I designed the characters and incorporated mocap data from Mixamo to bring the narrative to life within a few days. Although the glitches in the animation were frustrating, I chose to embrace them as part of the exercise, focusing instead on the urgent message at the core of the film.
Rendered in Eevee, this short film is a raw, unpolished piece that aims to convey a simple yet profound message: violence must end, and we must find a way to come together as one.
