IF YOU DON’T REPLY TO ME

by Molly-Mae Taylor

‘If You Don’t Reply To Me’ is a satirical commentary on the millennial world of dating. It strings together our desire to be replied to by those we crave attention from and mixes it with the bleak reality that sometimes we do need to take a step back and let others breathe. Taking elements from modern culture, references to a distaste for Morrissey but an appreciation of The Smiths, Luther, and Netflix, the animation firmly plants itself in the roots of what it feels like to negotiate attention in the modern world. The animation is itself, 2D digital animation – created on Adobe Animate and using a thin, white line to create shapes, movements and transitions.
