The Goo || Unreal Engine animated short film

This is going to be my second short film made in Unreal Engine. Currently it is in the pre-production stage.


The Goo (Animation | Short | Stylized)

Eric is a writer, and he is finishing his new play. It is a tradition for him to polish the text and add final touches staying at his favorite hotel room. As usual he is being met and welcomed by the hotel owner who escorts Eric to room 23.

The laptop is set up and all is ready for work. Eric’s imagination is drawing the images and fingers quickly type the text. Until something strange happens, all objects and characters in his mind begin to stick to each other…

Hi again @StanislavPetruk!

So nice to see more of your work. Hope you’ve been well. :slight_smile:

Looking at the few short clips here, they seem filled with so much character and charm. The art style, world design, and story all appear to be incredibly high quality and painstakingly crafted. As expected from your previous work. :smiley:

What inspired this story’s creation? And what made you come up with the idea of going inside a character’s imagination for a story?
