Spring is the story of a shepherd girl and her dog, who face ancient spirits in order to continue the cycle of life. This poetic and visually stunning short film was written and directed by Andy Goralczyk, inspired by his childhood in the mountains of Germany.
The Spring team used the development version of Blender 2.80 for the entire production, even before the software was in official Beta.
Hot on the heels of its premier, we're excited to dive into the latest short film from the Blender Animation Studio. Join Kent Trammell, Jonathan Lampel, Wayne Dixon, and Tim Von Rueden as we discuss the film as movie-lovers and Blender heads.
[Q] I'd like to know if the little leave on her stick was made with a cloth simulation or something or would that be rigged and animated at the beginning?
Right, Blender Today
Maybe we could adopt one of those creatures here in the Caribbean
At the end it shows that they have done it thousands of times before, so the dog was used to it
[Q] Is the dog unafraid of all spirits in the film?
Probably went to cause winter in some other place
I wonder where the creatures went?
Understood yeah
