A&D ANNUAL 2020

Lynette Vo

Lynette Vo’s work explores the concept of mortality through an autobiographical lens and how an acute awareness of one’s inevitable end shapes their living days and manifests in different ways (values, attributes, behaviours). ‘Dying to Live’ was animated on Clip Studio Paint with additional animation from After Effects; the shots were then compiled on Premiere Pro with the voice-over narration. Lynette found that encapsulating a heavy topic such as death would be better received if it was presented in a light-hearted tone (hence the character designs and colours) paired with the narration that is conversational in nature.
