Hello Blender Community!
My friend Jared and I are making an animated short film using Blender. Here’s the general idea:
“Threatened” is an animated short film about the unlikeliest of friends: a chameleon and a salamander. Living in a tropical rainforest in the middle of South America this peculiar and cute pair go about their lives in a fun and care free manner. But one day their care free lives are shattered and replaced by a life of fear and hard work to maintain their home. This short film tells of heroic deeds performed to protect one’s home and friends from foreign invaders. In this story, their home is threatened by humans and the plagues we carry with us. The humans introduce deforestation, hunting/poaching, disease and various other creatures that are not native to their home. This animated short will attempt to raise awareness about a few problems that are happening throughout the world in many different environments in a way that is both creative and humorous, as well as informative and meaningful.
We hope to use this project as yet another proof that Blender can be used as a complete production tool. However, we can only complete this project if we are successfully funded on Kickstarter. Please help!!
