Seeking Animator for Emotional Silent Short Film (Volunteer | Strong Narrative Focus)

Paruto

Hi everyone,

I’m Paruto (also go by Paopao), a microbiology student from Thailand with a deep passion for storytelling through animation. I’m fairly new to filmmaking, but I’m serious about narrative and emotional depth — and I’m hoping to find someone who shares that passion.

About Me:

During my recent term break, I created a short film called “The Melt” using Source Filmmaker and After Effects. It was made independently — guided by music, emotion, and a bit of help from ChatGPT. It’s a silent, symbolic story centered on grief, memory, and quiet resilience.

New Project – “The Warmth That’s Missing”:

A new silent short told entirely through classical music, pacing, lighting, and atmosphere — with no dialogue.

It takes place in an alternate early 20th-century world, inspired by real history. The story explores human fragility, authoritarianism, and the emotional cost of power — told with cinematic restraint and a poetic visual language.

Why This Project?

I want to tell stories that reach beneath surface judgments — that help us understand even those who seem cruel or unreachable. I use characters inspired by history (like young versions of Hitler or Einstein) not to glorify, but to humanize — to explore what suffering, silence, and misunderstanding can create in a person.

What I Can Offer:

- A completed script and storyboard

- Curated classical music as emotional and pacing reference

- Moodboards and visual tone direction

- Full credit, creative respect, and sincere collaboration

Looking For:

An animator who can help visually express this story — someone interested in subtle, emotionally driven animation (not flashy effects). Ideally using Blender or another accessible tool — but I’m open to other workflows.

This is a volunteer collaboration — I can’t offer payment, but I’ll handle all writing, musical direction, and editing. Your role would focus on animation and visual staging.
