A shepherd girl and her dog meet ancient spirits in a Blender Studio short inspired by the mountains where its director grew up.
In Spring, a young shepherd and her dog encounter ancient spirits as the seasons turn. Writer and director Andy Goralczyk drew on the mountains of his childhood in Germany. Blender Studio released the animated short in April 2019.
The team made the film in a development version of Blender 2.80. If you want to see how an animated short takes shape, the studio’s production archive includes early artwork and shot files. Start with an early design, then return to the film to see how it fits into the finished world.
