TEA FOR TWO
15 SEC HORROR SHORT
client: personal projects
role: DIRECTION, ILLUSTRATION, ANIMATION
the brief:
This project was created for the 15-second horror short film challenge.
The film follows a man in the middle of what appears to be an ordinary cooking scene until the visuals and music intensify, and the audience slowly realises the ingredients aren't just meat, but human organs.
To set the tone, Marion Harris's Tea for Two was chosen as the soundtrack, leaning into the unsettling quality that old recordings naturally carry. The song itself doubles as a dark joke since there are technically two people at the tea.
The project was a personal favourite to make, and it's sparked an ambition to develop a longer horror short in the future
my responsibilities:
direction & concept,
illustration,
animation,
sfx and Composition.
storyboard
color palette
character design
styleframes
Reflections & Outcomes
This project was a genuinely enjoyable creative exercise. working within the constraint of 15 seconds pushed the storytelling to be tight and deliberate, where every cut and beat had to earn its place.
The combination of a cheerful, upbeat track against deeply unsettling imagery do a lot of heavy lifting in horror. The project also reinforced how much atmosphere can be built through sound choice alone.
i'm very proud of this movie. i love horror movies and it is a genre i want to explore further, with plans to develop a longer short film that allows more room for dread to build gradually rather than relying on a single gut-punch moment.
Thank you for watching
