Cincotta-Eichenfield, Lisa Draho, Azia Egbe, and more. WORKS IN PROGRESS takes place on the first friday night of the month. A great way for current students to get to know each other/‘s work and to create opportunities for feedback, discussion, and growth as a creative community—outside of class!

Sharing IMA Works and Works-in-Progress on the feed. IMA student Haisi Hu @haisi_animation is working on her thesis, an animation called UnPlug. UnPlug is a narrative animation that explores the imaginative struggles of a child as she grows into adulthood and examines the interplay between nature, work, and technology in contemporary society. Through poetic storytelling, the film explores how nature—embodied by the beauty and freedom of animals—offers aesthetic and emotional fulfillment, while modern workspaces, particularly those shaped by technology, can lack such vitality. The film weaves several animation styles; 3D, rotoscoping, stopmotion and uses many different softwares as well as hand drawing and watercolors It’s expected to be presented at the Thesis Show on May 16-18. #animation #animatedfilm #nature #work #environments #imagination #workspace #cityscape #deer #goose #bat #Unplugfilm #worksinprogress #thesiswork @huntercollege @hunterartsandsciences @artsathunter
