Viewing Notes
One can either be impressed this was made in 16 days for the 48HFP Animation Project (sub-event of the 48 Hour Film Project) or be like me and think “this took 16 days to make?” It’s fine. I watched it twice, in fact, bc a) it’s very short ~3min before credits b) I read the rules for the competition which requires certain elements to be included in the short film.
Again, it’s fine. Wish it had been a little longer to get a better feel for the story / journey of the botanist but probably part of the requirements to keep it a certain length. I’m gonna watch all the short films submitted for this event.
