Creating Ringtone VZW

In today’s work culture, workers often feel isolated and overworked as their supervisors relentlessly put more and more tasks on them. Through the creative project Ringtone VZW, a thirteen-minute short film, the audience is subjected to a depressing work environment with small tastes of cosmic horror until the climax. The primary aspect of this project is the work in both visual and audio effects that work to enrapture the audience in the degradation of the main character as he slowly succumbs to the pressures of his environment. The story, meanwhile, is looser. It offers the audience to gather its own interpretations of its events and its meaning. This paper explores how this story was brought to life by the author.
