The Seed © Johnny Kelly - Nexus Productions

Johnny Kelly has created this two-minute animated voyage through one of nature's cycles, following the trials and tribulations of a humble apple seed. The film was kindly funded by Adobe, made using their CS4 range of software. It was produced at Nexus Productions and features a soundtrack by Jape. It was made using a mixture of stop motion papercraft and 2D drawn animation.


And this is a collection of movies, storyboards and images taken during the making of this short film.
