Disrupted is based on director Brian Newlin's real-life events. The coffee shop was his outlet and the piece is his imagination brought to life.
The animation is 3D over photographic plates.
The backgrounds used are photos of the actual coffee shop Brian Newlin hung out in and there the idea for Disrupted was born.
Disrupted is based off a series of humorous Facebook posts Brian Newlin made, which he wrote in the voice of a delusional man who thinks the coffee shop he hangs out in is his new job.
