The film's design is based on the semiotics of storytelling. With in-depth research method with a qualitative approach, the author was inspired to write a fantasy, experimental, and drama fairy tale with a bit of mystery. This story follows the main character whom is the Fungus. Hence, the author was adapting a fungi plant and its supporting character, the Gardener who eventually found his daughter missing shoe. This narrative is crafted from the author's imagination to design a fairy tale animated film with a semiotic message and metaphorical character design. The project making utilized 3D techniques to depict character concepts and environments that blend elements of modern fantasy with ornaments that can showcase the surrealism of the visual aspect of the garden area as the exterior environment alongside the living space of the fungi and the gardener as the interior environment.
