Pupille
Online
This story depicts the process of emotional growth. The eyeball character, Pupille, lacked self-confidence and withdrew into a shell. However, a certain event prompts Pupille to decide to live life authentically. At that moment, Tatameer, a purple entity who had always been by Pupille's side, is revealed to be Pupille's positive heart and alter ego .

I’m an 11th grader at Kakogawa Higashi High School with a deep passion for movies. I’ve enjoyed drawing and creating my own characters since childhood, and 'Pupille' marks my first real dive into filmmaking. I’m still busy creating new videos and dream of working in the film industry one day.

Everything in this film was created using analog techniques. We hope viewers can feel the depth, warmth, and the care of the creators unique to hand-crafted analog art. Another highlight is the charming, uniquely simple movements of the stop-motion animation. There is a scene where Pupile’s growth is clearly visible through a key event—see if you can spot it!
