This is a 22-minute animatic inspired by the events that happen between the video games Splatoon 1 and 2.
In the games, Marina leaves her oppressive underground home for the surface world of freedom and music. I wanted to explore what it means to leave one's home behind: Why would someone choose to leave or not? What struggles would they face and who would be hurt?
Using the Splatoon 2 development artwork for "beta" Pearl as a jumping point, I imagined what Marina's childhood friend would be like. Her name is Sunny, and serves as a foil to Marina.
The title of this short is named after takotsubo, the name for both an octopus trap and the "broken heart" syndrome, a weakening of the heart.
Age Rating: recommended 10+ for mild violence.
