BSA303, BSA324, BSA306, So This Happened series, 12 August, 2017

I'm not sure if I'm still researching difficult subjects + engagement + animation anymore; at this point, it's just reflexive.

This TVNZ series tells the story of NZ women's experiences with sexual harassment.

These episode create separation  by using soft pastels and a monochromatic palette on the backgrounds and bright colours and black outlines on the main characters.

The subject matter is difficult, sometimes for both storyteller and viewer, and seeks to leave the storyteller stronger for having told their story.  Many of these segments have dealt with abuses suffered during what is still childhood- the early teen years.
