Short animated film "Justice"

This is the trailer and some of the work material for my first animated film.

JUSTICE / PRAVDA was my final work on the 4th year on the subject of Animation, under Professor Rastko Ćirić and assistant Iva Ćirić.

Synopsis: When the system fails to punish the reckless driver who killed a young girl, the parents of the victim decide to take justice into their own hands. Their decision brings another trial.

All of the animation was done on light table and then was edited in TV Paint and Adobe After Effects. 
The idea and visual concept for this film came from a short comic I did in 2013. It was quite a challenge to adapt this story and not lose the atmosphere. Still, I didn't want the cartoon to be a carbon copy of the comic so I played a little. In the end a bunch of things were changed and now there are two interpretations of this project. It was tough working on this film, but I really enjoyed it.
