PLOT SUMMARY A superstar 3D-printed hybrid figurine struggles to adapt after being relocated to a museum housing authentic ancient African artifacts. OUR STORYTELLING
The story uses "Fables." Non – human characters that act like they are human. Specifically, our story revolves around a central character called Blend, who must blend in with other true ancient African relics when he is relocated to a museum of African relics, from a small gallery in France. The Artifacts in the museum come alive at midnight everyday, and live life to the fullest before returning to their mundane form just before daybreak. By having the artifact collection come alive daily at midnight, we have managed to create a very crucial sense of the movie's fantasy rudiments to reflect the human perspective of communal living - complete with feelings, sentiments, traditions, and conflicts - all exaggerated beyond the obvious. Though we have chosen to tell the bulk of our story with these artifacts, we also have human characters. We have employed a unique storytelling method that adequately combines reality and high-fiction by using our fabulist elements to accomplish the plot objective. Our storytelling is allegorical; as the artifacts serve a symbolic purpose beyond their mundane form. ARTIFACTS in the news! It is one of its hidden virtues, Lake Annecy makes it possible to give birth to animated films. During the 60th edition of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival & International Animated Film Market (MIFA), held until Saturday, June 19 - both in the Haute Savoie and Zoom, because of the Covid-19 -, Directors engage in “pitch” sessions to raise funds.
