SHORT FILM!: ‘The Forest of Symbiob: Klax & the Glydoos.’ - VOTE NOW FOR SUZANNE AWARDS!

In the Forest of Symbiob, we spot Klax ambling among the balloon trees carrying his lifelong companions, the Glydoos. They are looking for food high up in the trees, but how will they get it?

Hahaha! Love the “animal documentary” approach! Well done! :smile:

Thanks Nunud! glad you picked up on that! Elsewhere, a commenter described it as ‘speculative biology’! :grin:

I would like to make more if it does well, so if you’d like to see more, please vote a 5 at https://www.blender.org/conference/2018/festival/entries#353

Thanks!

I would but (paradoxically) I’m not a member of blender.org! :grimacing:

This is fun!
I like the animation of characters (especially the eyes), the story and the atmosohere!

Thanks Vaukalak, I like you lego knight too!
I tried to use the eyes to show them scanning the treetops for food. As I am doing all the visual stuff solo, it was a lot of work for one person! The atmosphere was something I knew was worth investing time in because with a gently silly story like Symbiob, the ‘feeling’ counts for a lot!

The people over at Blender Nation were kind enough to give ‘The Forest of Symbiob’ a feature!
