SHAKUHACHI - the forest guardian
This project was greatly inspired by the Samurai Jack animated series. I tried to capture the aesthetics of this show and tell a story of a forest guardian named Shakuhachi. This forest creature was named after the bamboo flute that he plays in order to protect the last flower in the forest.
SHAKUHACHI - the forest guardian
SHAKUHACHI - the forest guardian
In a forest far, far away
where all life has been sucked away
There is a creature committed to a task
that no one else could last
Guarding the last flower from the forces of dark
with his music the evil darkness is set apart
This project is greatly inspired by the Samurai Jack animated series. When I found out about this contest I immediately started sketching some ideas. Somehow I stumbled upon a Samurai Jack theme song on youtube and memories of watching this show as a kid came back to me. I always loved the aesthetics of the Samurai Jack, those pointy trees and a unique combination of colors really kept me glued to the TV screen.
While I was looking for a suitable music for this short animation I found this enchanting piece that is performed by Rodrigo Rodriguez, you can check it out here.
