Forest

'Forest' Short Film

This short film was a solo major project as part of my animation degree.

‘Forest’ is an experimental short film rendered using real-time graphics. Through contrasting a vibrant virtual paradise with a dark reality, the film reflects upon humanity’s ignorance of their destructive nature on earth; the innocence of youth and the indifference of adulthood.

All of the Boy and DragonFly Animation were done by Aimee Kirkham Priester.

Some Quixel assets were used for dressing on the burning tree scene at the end as well as some fire/water effects from the Epic Unreal Engine Marketplace.
