Description:
“Reach”, the graduate film of Animation Mentor student Luke Randall, introduces a tiny robot who receives the gift of life with only one limitation: the length of his power cable. The film was produced in after-work hours over a period of eight months and is a humble example of one of the most satisfying endeavors an animator can undertake: making your own film.
“Reach” draws heavily on visual styles developed from the director’s background in traditional media and attempts to stay true to a personal aesthetic when moving into the digital world.
