Spectrum: A Story of the Mind
A documentary about autism and sensory perception that features live-action and animated segments.
Locked
April 2nd is the Autism Awareness Day and therefore Jacob Frey thought he'd share one of the first video projects he created. In 2006 Jacob Frey applied at the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam and as an application exercise had to create a video to "being locked in a room". His skillset back then was very limited and he just started to dive into video software. Even though Jacob Frey got accepted to their course he instead decided to gamble and wait for the application results at Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg. Luckily he managed to get one of the few spots and started his path towards becoming an animator.
