Bess Krairat is a headstrong animator who gets inspired by everything in the world around him. “Everyone thinks differently, and has their own story, this can inspire me in many ways” His most recent work is Fate. The concept behind this short film was to find a metaphor to what society is doing to its planet. With bright colours and clean lines, this animation represents a story that takes you through different emotions embedding a deep philosophical message. “Most of us are like an innocent girl, only knowing what goes on from what general media tells us. We have no power over the situation.” Social issues are key to quality work according to Bess. When you create something it needs to be relevant. www.facebook.com/iambesskrairat “From the age of five I watched the cartoon Dragon Ball Z, I used to draw all the characters. I guess that’s where it all began” “I’m actually never completely satisfied with the work I make. I always try to correct myself or start creating all over again. I have a very critical view and always try to push myself to new limits, which eventually brought me to where I am today.” “By crossing new boundaries and being open to new lifestyles you might end up in a new situation. These could lead to new inspirational thoughts.” www.vimeo.com/besskrairat 18
