The Cathedral – Oscar Nominated Science Fiction Animated Short Movie Polish science fiction author Jacek Dukaj wrote a short story, Katedra, in 2000. A mysterious and enigmatic tale, it attracted the attention of Tomasz Bagiński, an artist and animator from the same country. He was intrigued by the prize winning piece of fiction and became determined to bring it to life as an animation. He did an exemplary job. Like the best science fiction the film refuses to bottle feed its audience and instead relies on individual interpretation of what is happening. (Spoiler alert if you have not watched the movie). A man, perhaps some sort of pilgrim, comes to a numinous, mysterious building which to our eyes initially looks like a medieval cathedral. The building shows its true nature at dawn when the light blinds and enchants him. The visual imagery used in the movie is quite breathtaking and although not a word is uttered throughout the seven minutes of its duration we ask the questions that the pilgrim asks.

Then I realised it’d be quite cool to make it an animation. found some suitable music, rekindled my ancient knowledge of Premiere, storyboarded it, shot it as I worked on the engine (my poor DSLR got covered in engine oil), this was the result. The music is “In The Hall Of The Mountain King” from Edvard Griegs “Peer Gynt Suite” I own a suitable license for this piece of music, supplied by Chris Worth Productions Featured by Bilgidrom Featured by user 8googleplus 5stumbleupon
