Elita tells the story of a lonely snail in this narrative animation. This snail is afraid of his ghost neighbor. Seeking friendship, the snail tries approaching “normal” people, but they are frightened of him. He feels rejected and alone.
Despite his fear, the snail starts to notice his ghost neighbor differently. The ghost, also lonely, offers the snail a balloon animal and invites him to dinner. At the dinner, other spooky characters join them. Through this experience, the snail learns that friendship can be found in unexpected places.
Created using Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, and Illustrator, this project explores themes of fear, loneliness, and the importance of connection. It shows that reaching out to others can lead to meaningful relationships. Elita’s project emphasizes empathy and the value of overcoming fears to build new bonds.
