Immersion

About This Movie

Immersion is a fascinating little gem from 2004 that uses this unique technique of watercolour pencil crayons on frosted acetate, which really adds a texture to the visuals. It’s a short, almost meditative piece that captures both the solitude and warmth of a bath, like you're floating in your own thoughts. The animation itself has this rough charm to it, done under a digital camera, giving it a distinct handmade feel. The pacing is slow and deliberate, allowing the viewer to really sink into the atmosphere. You can feel the intimacy in Megann Reid's work; it invites you to reflect rather than just watch. Definitely stands out in the world of animation.
