Short Film Find Le Gouffre Kickstarter Completed
This is an amazingly well conceived and executed short film, with a great idea, and stupendous ending. I didn’t think animated films were even morally capable of this sort of an ending. So kudos to these guys for great writing, and design on this fantastic short film find. The film was released just a couple weeks ago and already it has blown up around the interwebs.
Le Gouffre is the first animated short film produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, a young creative team based in Montreal. The film tells the story of two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it. Released in February 2015, the project had first gained a lot of attention following the huge success of its Kickstarter campaign, which allowed the creators to finance the movie’s post-production. Many were impressed by the passion and determination of the small team of three animators, who spent more than two full years creating the 10-minute film.
Want to know more about the making of the film? You are in luck. You can learn more with this really fantastic making of video that the team has put together.
