Computer Animation / Film / VFX Anerkennung - Honorary Mention 2013

Ars Rata

Christian Schulze, Moritz Palnstorfer
_Ars Rata_ is the master’s project by Christian Schulze and Moritz Palnstorfer. The movie shows the life of a sculpture that evolves from a sphere and struggles with the room that imprisons it. This culminates in an existential disintegration of the sculpture. The conflict is depicted as a computer animation embedded in video footage and additional computer-generated shots.
