Bachelor of Creative Media Production
As a 3D modeller and animator of Our Aotearoa, I have learnt a lot throughout this year, both from our contributors and my peers. Our contributors trusted us with their extremely personal experiences, which made me strive to represent their voices accurately and authentically. I gained invaluable experience being a part of an animation production team. One that formed great relationships and that endeavoured to produce an amazing project.
Our Aotearoa is an animated documentary series that speaks to immigrants' personal experiences of living in Aotearoa. These episodes explore themes of racism, discrimination, loss, loneliness, and maintaining cultural ties while living in another country. We feel there is little multicultural representation in mainstream media in Aotearoa. This project's purpose is to help open a dialogue for a more diverse representation of Aotearoa – the one we know, Our Aotearoa.
