About the Film

 

Synopsis

Chasing Grasshoppers is based on a true story of an anonymous person. The preproduction process was developed in conjunction with the Vientianale International Film Festival and under a special workshop in the Summer of 2012.

 

Director Notes

When you get the chance to teach a workshop, you wonder who the attendents will be and their skill level. Luckily, I was given 12 very capable people and while the workshop spanned 2 days and half showed up for the second day, we still managed to start two short films. In this workshop, everyone had a chance to tell a childhood story. Of them, we decided to produce two of them. This is the first of the two, using 2D animation techniques. We were unable to finish the work during the workshop, so I spent another month taking the assets into After Effects and animating it, putting effects and sound effects.
