Lumi

Introduction

"Lumi" is a short film created by a team of enthusiastic second year animation students studying at Escape Studios. This film shows the results of a four week project which was animated, rigged, textured and rendered by a group of hardworking artists.

Synopsis

A night lamp standing on guard in a child’s bedroom wakes up during a lightning storm. A mysterious intruder enters the room during the storm and our protagonist investigates. After discovering that the intruder is just the house cat finding a safe space to hide, the lamp offers him comfort during the storm.

Meet Lumi...

Lumi is lamp that stands on guard in a child's bedroom, making sure nothing is out of the ordinary while he's fast asleep. We wanted Lumi's textures to reflect the it's character, therefore we chose to match it's colour pallet to a King's Royal Guard.
