Jealousy

"Jealousy" is an experimental 3D animation. It features an elemental digital construction of the plantation house meticulously described in the seminal 1957 novel La Jalousie by French writer Robbe-Grillet. No characters are depicted in the animation – just as the novel emphasizes settings and objects over characters/dialogue. The compulsively observed settings and objects reveal the obsessive mindset of the main character, a jealous husband who suspects his wife of having an affair. The soundtrack features sounds described in the novel; nocturnal animal cries, insects whirring, etc. The animation expands on the novel by making settings and objects dynamic; furniture self-constructs, objects move, and lights shift.

On a hot summer day, a car is stuck in a traffic jam. The kids are sleepy in the backseat. They seem to feel something cool when they’re half awake. All of a sudden, they’re riding the waves with their feet on surfing boards, surfing in the gridlock. The streets in a big city are like rivers and their branches, and they’re racing each other. Cars, vans, trucks and buses are surging like sea waves. Suddenly, a super big wave comes and knocks them off their surfing boards! To their surprise, a bucket of water is splashed over the windshield. It turns out that their mom has driven the car into a car wash! It was just their imagination. They exchange a glance and smile.
