Features
By published

This apocalyptic animated short by French motion designer Pierre Emperador's is a one-man wonder.

Independent motion designer and art director Pierre Emperador recently completed this short, sci-fi inspired animation. Working in Toulouse, France, the film was a self-initiated project by Emperador, who was responsible for every element of production, including art direction, modelling, rigging, animation and composition.

Norsk is one of the possible narratives of our future

The film has a super-cool art style and brilliant use of colour. The motion graphics are also perfectly synched to its soundtrack, Deadmau5's Raise Your Weapon.

The French are well known for producing excellent animated shorts, and Norsk is another fine example.
