This short film was created by Po-Chou Chi, a Visual Communication Design student. Mixing the style of surrealism with 3D animation, Chi stresses on the accumulation of feelings, human affection and the recollection of memories. The drawer of memory expresses that loss is very difficult and memories form an unforgettable past.
It evident that this short animated film is heavily from Salvador Dali's work, especially from his "anthropomorphic cabinet (aka Drawers of memory)" painting where the character from the short follows the same concept of the character in the painting.
As an artist from the surrealism art movement, Dali was influenced by Sigmund Freud "who discovered that the human body, is today full of secret drawers that only psychoanalysis is capable of opening".
My short film "Ma Petite" draws its influenced from both works, especially in the memory scene which features an artificially lighted stage where the daughter is playing piano with a blurry background. The background is dominated by the degradation of the brown color just like painting. This blurry brown background gives the impression the presence of an imaginary world with no limits built on memory . The latter was triggered by an object (the red piano) that had value for the father, this follows the same concept as the "drawer of memory" movie where the old woman remembers her late husband through objects.
