Exhilarating Animated Adventure Short Film - THE CHASM

View fullsize

The creative team over at Lightning Boy Studio has created one hell of a great adventure story in an animated short film called Le Gouffe a.k.a. The Chasm. It tells an inspiring story of friendship, sacrifice, and conquering the impossible. 

The film follows "two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it." It doesn't come without its challenges, and it has a very intense, climatic, and beautiful conclusion.

This is the first animated short that was produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, which consists of a young creative team based in Montreal. They spent two years bring their 10-minute story to life, and it's absolutely stunning. It's a satisfyingly emotional journey that is worth investing your time it, so please watch it when you get a chance.

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.
