Amazing Animated Fantasy Western Short - SOLSTICE

View fullsize

We've got another great animated short film for you to watch today. This is a fantasy western called "Solstice," and it was created by Lynn Wang and Ed Skudder. They made it in their free time over the course of 2-3 months, and it turned out amazingly well. The animation is absolutely beautiful, and I would love to see more! This thing gave me goosebumps, and it should seriously be adapted into a feature-length movie. It is an incredible tease to something bigger and better. Here is a note from the creators.

We both split the work 50/50 from background painting to rough animation to clean up and everything between, however Ed did the music and compositing and Lynn headed up the design. As of right now, this short is it, but hopefully one day we can expand on the world!

I really hope they do expand on this world. Enjoy the short! 

This minute-and-a-half fantasy western is a 2D animated passion project that the two of us crafted over our free nights and weekends for the past 2-3 months. We both split the work 50/50 from background painting to rough animation to clean up and everything between, however Ed did the music and compositing and Lynn headed up the design.

Thanks for watching, and if you liked it you can check out more stuff from Lynn & Ed here... http://furyoso.com/ http://lynnvwang.tumblr.com/ http://edskudder.tumblr.com/
