Abandoned at Sea - David Conway’s Story
Abandoned at Sea - David Conway's Story is a documentary film telling the story of a young man who was torpedoed in the Second World War. Originally interviewed and filmed in 2004, the footage on tape was digitised and cut together with 2D animated visuals to tell David Conways story. The original idea was to release the digitised interview in its raw form but it came apparent that parts of his story would work nicely with some image overlays and subtle animations. That then lead to this eight and half minute documentary. The film was edited in Avid Media Composer and the original music was recorded in Logic Pro.
