A film by James Lowne

Three narratives unfold together. Inside a vast nature reserve sits a solitary building, a café, where an important meeting is being held by executives. Outside in the park, the collective singular lounge about wearing fancy garments. Images are exchanged, participation simulated: the interminable present. Meanwhile, the dormant wildlife fades away.

Images were sourced, then reframed and re-painted onto new backgrounds to develop scenes. Characters modelled and animated in 3D software and edited on the computer with analogue treated ambient sound.
