My Head Is Too Big for My Jumper. And Maybe Yours Is Too.

Ella Adams’ inaugural animated short serves as an exploration of the frustrations experienced by Ireland's younger population regarding their country. Specifically, the emotional dichotomy of deep affection for a place that feels unreciprocating. Like a favourite jumper you just can’t quite squeeze into. While told from a Gen Z perspective, it aims to resonate with all Irish people across generations, nodding to the cycle of emigration.

As a graduate of Moving Image Design, Ella specialises in digital motion graphics, 2D and 3D animation, and video editing. She thrives on meticulous detail, diverse software, and communicating human experiences. Ella finds herself inspired everyday by the people and places around her, and constantly day dreams of visuals that could fit with certain sounds, music or stories. This final piece is the culmination of all these passions, blending technical skill with a deeply personal narrative.
