An unknown virus has destroyed almost the entire human population. Oblivious to the true nature of the disease, the only remaining survivors escape to the sea. In great ships, they set off in search of uninhabited land. So begins the exodus, led by one man…

Ark is a short movie directed by Grzegorz Jonkajtys. Visually, he was inspired by the catacombs he saw in Italy.

The short has been produced by Marcin Kobylecki and Grzegorz Jonkajtys at Platige Image. Co-producers: Jarek Sawko and Piotr Sikora.

“The picture was created using an unconventional technique of making animated films. It’s based on hand-made models (built by Marcin Kobylecki and Tomas Mayer) which were photographed using Nikon D70S. [...] Then using 3D software, digital characters and elements” were added.

Intriguing photos of the model shooting process can be seen on MRMC. (thanks Martin!)
