Arachnophobia
Synopsis
Meta and Damjan, are having their morning coffee. Naturally, Meta falls asleep, while Damjan proceeds to add sugar to their drinks. As he pours sugar into her coffee, an unwanted visitor slips out of the sugary spoon and falls into her drink. Damjan decides it's a good chance for a prank and leaves it in. After Meta wakes up and takes a big sip, the funny surprise takes an unexpected turn that is shown through morphing, trippy visuals, illogical movement and behaviour.
This film is for people who like simple yet chaotic scenarios, for people who need to giggle a bit at the misfortune of others and for people who are fans of Jack Stauber.
Key elements behind my short film are self-reflection through humour, playful experimentation, and improvisation. Under academic pressure to create a film, I leaned on simplicity and directness rather than a complex and profound idea. This presented me with a challenge and motivation to learn new skills, as well as to confront my fear. Jumping into the unknown, I decided to „mock“ my irrational fear of spiders and present it with absurdity and unexpectedness using clay in unconventional ways.
