Monuments - Visual Development

"As an explorer was sent into an mysterious, overgrown world finding ruins of an ancient civilization he begins to see the world with different eyes. "

A visual development for an 2-D animated short film. The Focus lies on the stylization of nature and the places, which the protagonist comes across. His fantasies and impressions, his change from the factual view of an explorer to and inebriated mindset of exploration.

Nature has been mystified, deified but also researched. Its observation has affected human culture and can be even seen as its root. Mankind has built structures and cultures that may have lived hundreds or even thousands of years – until they are entombed, scattered and forgotten. What remains are the ruins of past times that tell tales from what has been.

This is an ongoing project, I would love to explore the topic further and nail down the story more and finaly realize the short film.
