Animated and completed in early-mid 2022, “Inundated” is a short film based off Red Room Poetry poem “The Act of Water” by Duy Quang Mai. Melancholic, reflective, and hopeless-in-feeling, the short film captures the last moments of a character trapped within their flooded home.

The choice to make a silent film allowed us to place more focus into the interpretations of the characters’ actions and emotions as they go through the five stages of grief. For music, we primarily focused on foley with loose accompanying Vietnamese instruments.

For this film, I primarily played a part in being the Background Designer, Inbetweener, Colourist, and Compositor (what I worked on will be shown later below).
