Description:
Sailing amidst the clouds, in a world where floating castles share the sky with creatures that soar on wings of gold, a young boy must decide his future: to follow the passion of his heart or the traditions of his people. The production of Within an Endless Sky merged Maya, Photoshop, and After Effects to expand the scope of traditional cinematography and CGI. With these tools, visual sleight-of-hand, and a crew of one-an individual filmmaker, even a self-taught student filmmaker-is now able to dramatically and affordably extend the scale and quality of visual storytelling.
Within an Endless Sky won the award for “Best Animated Short” at the 2002 Newport Beach Film Festival.
