Hothouse 2 - Ice Ages

Hothouse 2 - Ice Ages

| 1 min

Seeking shelter from a thunderstorm, a man sits in a pub watching the ice in his glass melt away. Howie Shia marries his graphic illustration style with subtle animation and a haunting soundtrack to conjure up anxiety and foreboding. He used pen and ink on tracing paper and later composited and coloured digitally.

Produced as part of the second edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.
