The Avocado Army

The Avocado Army-

wanted to incorporate a waving flag.

For this animation test, I drew inspiration from articles and information I have read in the past few years regarding the avocado industry in Mexico. This major export of Mexico, although it has done some great things for the country, it is plagued with significant issues, from deforestation, water consumption, and poor working conditions to government corruption and cartels. I've always been interested in working with avocados; my goal was to animate multiple subjects in synchronization, supporting and practicing for a larger project.

I loved the way it came together. These guys might have to battle in the Great Guacamole War. Visit my Instagram (@nimra) to watch them march to “La Marcha De Zacatecas.”

Thanks for visiting!

It made me think of the old WWII and Communist propaganda.
