The animation is about the loss of swamps in Finland. From the 1950's till the 1990's much of the swamps were dried. The dried swamps were turned into forests, used for the needs of the wood industry. At the time, little was known about the dryings effects on the climate and the loss of biodiversity.
The animation is a fantasy, imagining a forest returning as a swamp by night. The water rises and strange lights and sounds appear as the swamp reveals itself.
My focus was to learn to model local plants growing in swamps. The plants seen by night were modeled by me. With animation and sound design I wanted to create a changing and atmospheric environment.
