The Completed Short:

Synopsis:

This was the first of an annual Exquisite Corpse animation project, where in each participant gets a small portion of soundtrack to animate as loosely and as creatively as they see fit. Typography, motion graphics, abstract, 2d, 3d, paper – every style is welcome! Once everyone returns their portion, it is placed together for completed work. This type of animation allows a story to unfold organically, through many hands, with very little limitations. In the end an idea is made that could not have existed any other way.
Artful Raven Studio is a place to bring stories to life. So it made sense that the theme for this inaugural event was simply that- Story. We hope you liked watching as much as we enjoyed making.
