Catharsis - Film Art (short film, stills & sketches)

My old graduation film won a bunch of awards in the student film category for best direction, best script, and best film - but alas! no Palme d´Or or Oscar. By far the prettiest one was from the canadian filmboard, a beautiful maple leaf carved in glass and so decorative that my mom still keeps it on her window sill.

I wont list all the talented people who worked on this here (check the credits in the film).
I did: direction, AD, Storyboard/layout, design, some animation, and a single background or two.
Below I've posted a few storyboard images (just click to enlarge it a bit). I like the Japanese way of doing boards that resemble the finished film as much as possible. This doesn't mean that frames need to be overly detailed or perfect in any way, but that I really try to capture the cinematography and emotional essence of each scene, and that I board every motion made by the camera, characters, lighting or effects important to the scene. 
Here finally is the cover Hald and me did for the film.. (I cant find the version with Anders Breums awesome lettering for some reason).
