James Tran and Alicia Souza

Bangalore-based illustrator Alicia Souza and Australian filmmaker James Tran met for the first time at this year’s Symposium, hitting it off instantly as they explored how they could bring her kooky illustrative characters to life in film! She wrote out a story featuring her autobiographical characters whilst James would shoot the scenes before combining her sketches finalised from Photoshop to After Effects, where he would animate her characters over his film footage to create an interactive moving comic series!
