Modern Love

Satirical rotoscope animation on modern dating culture

Overview

About

Modern Love is a rotoscope animation, where each frame was hand drawn and edited together to create the final piece.

As someone who experienced the frustrations of online dating, I wanted to create a satirical piece that pokes fun at gen-zs in the digital light.
