Description:
Raptor is an environmental animated short film written and directed by Vid Rajin for City One Minutes festival.
Making of:
This animation was initially part of the project which involved 4-5 short films. The idea behind the City One Minutes festival is to gather 24 one minute films from each country and broadcast them during the day in real time. The subject is participant’s city, in this case Belgrade. I tried to explore the environmental subject from another point of view, more abstract and with touches of eerie metaphysics. Although the result may seem straightforward, the title leans towards philosophical themes.
Fun facts:
The title is in Latin and refers to eschatology, not the dinosaurs.
