The plot and some early concept artwork

The film is an incredibly exciting project - the driving force and inspiration for the film largely comes from the piece of music of the same title written by Phil McNinn and the Oxford based band 'Fell City Girl'. This film contract basically allows me to visually represent this music as a short film (less of a music video) and express it in a striking, punchy, concise and energetic piece of 3d animated film. The film is about nostalgia. We're introduced to the story of a small Eskimo Boy who meets a mysterious floating balloon that whips him up into the crazy and surreal skies above him. When the adventure gets a little too much for him, all he wants is to have his feet back on the ground.


The visuals are quaint and offbeat; the score is masterful and incredibly energetic - with a massive climactic summit that should perfectly mask the morphology of this short plot.


Here are some early concept pieces that inspired the creation of this film.
