Carla's full film is 15 minutes long:


Carla has made some stop frame animations and manipulated photos to blend her own face onto bodies of computer game characters. She also is filmed showing different emotions and acting like characters from computer games and TV programmes she likes. The rest of her video portrait shows images of TV programmes, people, games and music she likes to tell people more about her.
