ZEZE & MERCEDES is the collaborative graduation film of Başak Kirici, Ming Stotijn, Teodora Tiţescu, Corina Bojan and Lok Thong Siu about two kids racing each other and their imaginary friends in a game of pretend. The concept of children's imagination encourages playfulness and experimentation with animation.
As such I've been exploring the use of machine learning in character animation with my project Yuru Kyara and grateful to my teammates for letting me further indulge in its use for ZEZE & MERCEDES, continuing experimentation during the pre-production and its implementation in the production phase.
