Faded into the Long Dark

A frame by frame animated short story — August 2020

The Mission

As part of the 2D animation university class, I created a short fan film, based on the game The Long Dark. The main focus here was on:

  • frame by frame animation
  • storytelling without the use of speech or text
  • capture the feel of the game, while using a very different art style


The Tools & Skills

  • After Effects for the animation
  • Photoshop for the painting
  • After Effects for the video
  • Blender for asset creation
