“I Have Trouble Sleeping” is a two-dimensional digitally animated short film centered around my personal experience with insomnia. For this piece, I focused on using surreal imagery to visualize the struggles I have faced due to this sleep disorder. Stylistically, I experimented with using vibrant colors and digital brushes made from water-based media to capture the dreamlike and disorienting state caused by sleep deprivation. The film was animated using a workflow consisting of Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.
