Experiencing Interruptions?

Kukunochi

Kukunochi is a 3 minute 3D animation film set within the Edo Period of Japan, depicting the story of a young girl who learns about humility. The short presents a bout between two children, encapsulating their relationship, and how they emotionally evolve after confrontational events with an angered ancient spirit.

Using Unreal Engine 5, our team of talented artists have created an endearing fable within a short time span, implementing a proficient studio production pipeline as all assets, environments, and sound are created from scratch.
