Flight Of The Contrapunk No. 26
A CG short film that brings you through the connection formed between artist and artwork, the creator and the created.
OVERVIEW
This short film invites viewers into the space where ideas are born — a hybrid world where 3D forms drift through hand-drawn lines, and unfinished thoughts begin to take shape. Here, imagination isn’t abstract; it’s alive. What begins as a simple gesture from the artist sparks a chain of reactions as the artwork grows curious, expressive, and unexpectedly aware.
ART DIRECTION
The film’s visual language draws from abstract animator and film director Oskar Fischinger, Disney’s film ‘Fantasia’, and the dreamlike nostalgia of early moving images — soft palettes, rhythmic motion, and a sense of wonder grounded in craft. As the boundaries between artist and artwork dissolve, the story becomes a quiet conversation about control, collaboration, and the moment a creation starts to think for itself.
REFERENCES
Inspired by early animation experiments like Max Fleischer’s Out of the Inkwell Series with an echo to Frankenstein, the piece reinterprets the “hand of the artist” through a contemporary digital lens. Instead of paper and ink, the creator appears as shifting brush strokes, fragmented cuts, and sculptural gestures — an unseen force that guides and nudges to keep pace with what she has brought into being.
