버드 드론은 스토리 자체와 영화 제작 모두에서 사랑을 중심에 두고 있다. 외로운 갈매기와 인간이 조종하는 드론이라는 독특하고 특이한 두 개체를 통해 짝사랑과 관련된 인간의 감정에 대한 진심 어린 이야기를 담았다. 주인공 갈매기의 매력은 일방적이며, 자연적인 것과 부자연스러운 것, 자율적인 것과 통제된 것의 이분법으로 인해 완전히 얻을 수 없는 사랑을 하게 된다. 2D와 3D 애니메이션 기법을 결합하여 유기적인 갈매기와 합성 드론의 관계를 반영하는 것이 아트 디렉션과 비주얼 스타일에 반영되는 것이 매우 중요했다.
Bird Drone centres around love, in both the story itself and the creation of the film. A labour of love over the last few years, it is a heartfelt story about the human emotions connected with unrequited love, explored through two peculiar and unusual entities - a lonely seagull and a human-operated drone. Our hero seagull’s attraction is one-sided, and the dichotomy of the natural and the unnatural, the autonomous and the controlled, results in love that is completely unobtainable. It was extremely important to me that this was reflected in the art direction and visual style, using a combination of 2D and 3D animation techniques to mirror the relationship between the organic seagull and the synthetic drone.
외로운 갈매기가 새로운 애정의 대상이 배터리 수명이 제한된 사람이 조종하는 드론이라는 사실을 받아들이기 위해 고군분투하는 짝사랑에 대한 진심 어린 이야기다.
A heartfelt story of unrequited love explored through a lonely seagull struggling to accept that his newfound object of affection is a human-operated drone with a limited battery life.
