synopsis
A teenage boy is cycling through a park, when he takes a wrong turn into the woods and enters a vibrant, animated world.

He travels first through a Jungle, then is lifted up into the clouds. Next, he drops down into the ocean, and is finally propelled back into real life after travelling through a series of mysterious pipes.

short fact
I created this film as part of my 'art - film & video' A-level in Southampton. I designed and made a special glass table to film the animated section, and then spent about six weeks filming the animation.

This film utilises cut-out animation and live-action scenes to create an imaginative, playful atmosphere.

    Excellent...Im studing Media and Film now, and wish i could do something like this man..
    It is perfect commercial material, someone like 02 or even Honda(it reminded me of their flying engine ad)..I bet the feel can be dramatically played with by altering soundtrack...love to see it with a horror score..
    Great work
    Congrats

    Roman
