A important list
I made it onto a list with these other fantastic people 😀
This is a proof-of-concept teaser trailer/pitch for an animated feature film called Kariba. It was made by Blue Forest Collective, a South African animation group.
Kariba was conceived as a modern African fairy tale, combining the historical events surrounding the building of the Zambezi river dam wall and the local legend of the river spirit that caused its destruction. “We are using the rich history and mythology around this event,” Snaddon said. “Our aim is to make something that stands out as being uniquely African, a film that respects both its source material, and its audience, while being hugely fun and entertaining.”
And here’s some concept art:
This looks really fucking good
The animation in the teaser alone is spectacular, the concept art is breath taking, and I absolutely want to see this! Like legit stoked for this to be a thing I can watch.
