A political leader orchestra a diabolical plot that will allow him to rule his people forever. He deceives them and cuts their thumbs. The people fall into a cycle of hardship and impotence.
Delanyo Sabblah
Ghanaian animator who has a master's degree in animation for the joint European master's program Re: Anima. He is also a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation by the National Institute of Film and Television of Ghana [Nafti]. He has a decade of experience in creative digital media, both artistic and technical. Delanyo works mainly with fixed and moving images. Their digital illustrations often reflect their immediate environment, while exploring social issues through satire. As an animator whose works predominantly use 2D animation techniques, it is often based on visual metaphors to transmit complex concepts on socio-political issues. This factor can be attributed to the narrative style often used in their short films. Delanyo has come to consider art as a tool for research and expressing ideas. This has a great influence on the experimental processes it explores in its animation films. As you understand that your work as an animator and narrator must go beyond mere entertainment and cause changes, the vindicative issues are often present in your creations.
