Press Pack

We were finally briefed on how to get our animation ready for festival submission. We were asked to put a press pack which consist of :

  • 4 x stills from your final animation / or work - resized to 146x111mm at 300dpi TIF
  • 100 word bio of the each team member / or individual + Team / Individual Photo
  • Poster ( including branding and strap line )  
  • Trailer ( 1min in length )
  • Synopsis of Plot / Premise - 250 words max
After doing the art book doing the press pack was quite easy because I already had some of it n my art book. So it was nice to see the correlation of the tasks going back and forth with them.
So time for a check list-
Trailer- check
4 x Stills- check






Bio of each team member- check


Greta Narbutaityte- (choreography, editing, animation, directing) “Be Together” director with a specialisation in 2d animation and a background in dance. This is Narbutaityte’s passion project therefore she had a heavy input in the creation of the choreograph as well as overseeing every aspect in the making of the video.

Katy Mulvey- (choreography, lead dancer) Trained in classical ballet Mulvey is also an aspiring animator. Mulveys grace and elegance was a great attribute to the creation and execution of the choreography in the film.

Vasare Piscikaite- (filming) graphic design student, with a passion for film and photography. With a profile in filming dance videos Piscikaite helped capture Mulveys dancing on film being the main operator on the set of “Be Togeteher” .

Synopsis - check

According to Greek mythologies humans originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. The men were children of the sun, the women were children of the earth and the Androgynous were children of the moon, which was born of the sun and earth. It is said that humans had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for humanity’s pride and doubling the number of humans who would give tribute to the gods. These split humans were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish so Apollo had sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each human would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lie with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that. However, this concept leads to the question of “Would the other half necessarily had to be another person?”
