Thesis Abstract: Excerpts on Life is a combination of short mixed media animations portraying extreme scenarios of everyday life. Metaphorically it references the helplessness we feel when we are in situations we can not control. They aim to remind the audience (18-26) of their negative actions and behaviors that may affect others.

Keywords: Animation (3D/2D/2.5D/Stop Motion), Space as emotional/psychological expression, Visual storytelling, Observation, Vignettes, Deus ex machina, Dark humor, Despair, Satire, Cynicism.
