Bleak Times

A surreal and sad 2D animated short film, made over the course of a few years: animation is hard work! This experimental film was created in Toon Boom Harmony and After Effects. Let me know what you think in the comments.

"Set to a backdrop of desolate snowy mountains, a young boy and his brother stumble into a surreal and twisted journey. Trying to escape their surroundings they are pursued by mysterious figures and have to confront themes of isolation, death and identity.

A new strange and macabre animation by Jon Parkin (Old Man Chimes) and produced by Let There Be Light Productions."
