Half Fry is a short film of roughly one minute, highly autobiographical in nature, which, through a rather heightened metaphor, attempts to express the urgency of maintaining good health. Our protagonist, a young woman who throughout development has only gone by ‘S’, neglects sleep and food in lieu of work. This, however, is unacceptable to the creature—aan alter ego who decides to take matters of self-care into her own hands after suffering from S’s neglectful behaviour. The film, animated frame-by-frame in Photoshop, serves to remind viewers (and the creator herself!) that if you do not take care of your body, your body will force you to do so through far more unpleasant methods. The following report describes the processes of conceptualisation, development, and production of the short film. Along with details of the creation process are discussions on the themes, inspirations, and creative logic that have contributed to the film.
