Create!

The film is a lovely, heartwarming ode to creativity, alongside being a reminder that no matter how still and dull things might seem sometimes, there is always a little bit more color and inspiration to be found in an unexpected place.

The protagonist is in the middle of a room filled with blank and scribbled pages, the clutter around him a representation of his scattered thoughts. He is unable to move ahead in his creative pursuits. However, soon he stumbles across an object, a basketball, in a forgotten corner of the room that echoes the film’s title ‘Create!’. In a similar fashion, creativity effuses forward from the crevices of his mind, and the narrative comes full circle.

The visual treatment, with its effects and animation exhibiting finesse and skill, becomes a true treat to interact with as a viewer. All of it together ties the end result as a whole, marked by hope, and a fun, engaging, and expert visual progression.
