So Happy to release finally this shortmovie where i had been working with some others during the last year. This project was born many years ago, when my friend (Pedro Camilo Monteros) and me started to think about the necesity to create a soccer football serie, we developed a test but we realized we were so young and amateurs stiil, so we stoped the idea during some years while we improve our skills.
After few years working with UE I realized it was time to start again whit the idea we stopped and this shortmovie is the result!!
Hope you enjoy it!!
“The boy who heard silence” is a 3D short film that aims to commemorate and honor one of the most important moments in the sports history of Spain in the 21st century: the goal that was worth the first world football title for Spain in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
In its 7 minutes of 3D animation, achieved with the hybridization of video game development technologies, motion capture (motion capture suits applied to #metahumans (digital characters) and traditional animation techniques, this short puts the action in contemporary time in the Albufera de Valencia, when an old journalist tells his grandchildren the story of the boy from La Mancha who watched in frustration as the Spanish soccer team failed over and over again in the World Cups. That boy became a professional player and made it to the Spanish team. The story takes a leap and takes place at the moment in which the national team is finally playing in the final of a World Cup and that boy, now a man, has the opportunity of a lifetime, with which he and an entire country dreamed. for decades, to push a ball into the back of the net.
It is a tribute to one of the most outstanding moments in the history of Spanish sport, through a fictional story that culminates in the moment in which the euphoria of an entire country is unleashed with Andrés Iniesta’s historic goal in the final of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
