Funismagus Project designs the magic wand of an explorer who set forth on a journey for revenge. The magic wand will fight four powers of the ancient world (fire, water, earth and air) and it will lead the way for the explorer. The material, of which the wand is made, is the threads torn off from ten great magicians’ robes as the thread is the closest material to the human body. It surrounds one, shifts shape and stretches or shrinks accordingly.
In the video, you will see how the explorer selects where to go in a valley and the interactive solutions I came up for the issue.
The most interesting thing over here is integration of 2D elements to show thoughts which could be difficult to express with 3D.. okay, maybe not difficult but it would take large amount of time. The same technique is commonly used in games. They create 2D cinematic because it's cheaper, easier and faster. I love this trend that's why this animation just took my heart.
Also, it is good to see well customized morpheus rig. Perfect example of using free rig in animated short.
However, the story could be more clear, but still, it looks great.
Another great inspiration for my final short animation.
