FINN

FINN is a short movie based on the scandinavian universe, it tells the story of a viking which participate every year in the mythical beast hunting contest. 

He failed every time and never killed one of them ( Bear, Dragon etc... ). He is the laughing stock of the Vikings, but this year could be a game changer...

Concept Art

The Knarr was designed and respected the global shapes of Knarr and Drakkar. We also added a funny mechanism on it to add a cartoon side.

Bobby is a living fish of the Ice Fjords. Not used to crossing man in his surroundings, he is very calm in nature and escaped danger.

Despite his gigantic size, he does not face his fears.

During our short film, we realized that we wanted smaller and quite fun fish.

We took the design of the other two character models, then created a smaller size with a different morphology and textures.
