Animated Short by Nemanja Vučenović
With The Shape
Synopsis
A lonely man lives in a world under one tree. Everything looks perfect until an unusual event makes him eager to change his world.
This is the reason why some actions aren’t in harmony with nature and that’s why some action can lead to the destruction of something more important in nature or in our personal life. We should think twice before we do something.
Concept/director´s statement
The idea of a man who lives in,what seems to be a perfect world is something that I have in my head for a long time. When people seem to have everything that they need in life, even with all of their fortune they never feel satisfied. The world in this movie was born from that idea.
One tree that gives food is a representation of perfect world where a man who lives underneath has what he wants and what he needs. But, he’s just a man, he always searches for something more. One unusual event will trigger our character to do things which he never did before. An interesting ending makes this movie very important.
A film sends a message to people about their decisions, actions and habits. The visual style is a combination of 3D computer animation and hand-drawn animation. This technique is a perfect blend that gives an interesting atmosphere that is very important to pass this idea.
“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.”
