Description:


    This is a short teaser film inspired an ancient Chinese tale. It takes place in a mysterious world, a space within the meditative sphere of the Buddha, where mechanical objects modeled on animals and insects fly about and various Asian spirit monsters (“YOUKAI”) freely roam. This unique combination of ancient Eastern wisdom, with a touch of Japanese humor, is depicted with a powerful visual presen-tation that is only possible in a production that is completely created in CG animation.
