Yutaka Izubuchi - creator of Rahxephon series. It deals with people living in a created reality not knowing that things are different from what it used to be including changes that are happening to themselves.
The animation style is really clean and nice, often with shifts of in momentum of mood changing from a peaceful scene to a scene of panic and urgency.

Kazuya Tsurumaki- animation director for Gainax
One of his most well known works is the Neon Genesis Evangelion.
A lot of people have already know what this is about, one of the most interesting concept of this series is that the main protagonist all struggle mentally amongst their inner self. One evident and obvious relation to the project we're doing is that the character, Rei Ayanami is actually a genetic clone of Shinji Ikari's mother. A living being created through artificial methods. To others it does not even seem that she's any different as a human, but in reality she's a vessel for one of the 'angels' soul.
Images that I think would relate to the work I'm doing for the particular scenes.

the image on the left also sets a mood similar to that scene I'm creating

Post human is interpreted by me of something beyond human not confined with the the norm restrictions of the human we know. The presumably dead may mean alive in this matter, or at the same time some may consider what is 'alive' dead as well. My story talks about the toying of live experiments trespassing the inner minds of the 'test subjects' invading their personal territory, their memories. To the right is my storyboard

My minute animation was created through hand drawn frame by frame. As it is my very first time engaging in this manner of method, there were a lot of experimenting throughout the process of the production. For referencing I primarily used myself to pose out for the actions and interpret from there to create the animat
ion.

Ghost in the Shell

From the futuristic 'police thriller': Ghost in the Shell. This animated movie approaches 'post human' through the means of a cybernetic organism (cyborg). Preserving the brain of a human it retains emotions just like a human. This synthesis of organic and synthetic parts allows a seemingly mechanic being consist of the ability to decide what is right and wrong, make their own decisions rather than follow a path of absolute orders. It has a unique style on the animation during it's time in 1995, influencing the hit movie "The Matrix".
