The Reward

The Reward is a nine minute animated short created by a team of animation students for their Bachelor Class project at The Animation Workshop in Denmark.

In addition to being beautifully realized, the story, about two rivals who must learn to cooperate in pursuit of a treasure, is told wordlessly in a demonstration of superb visual storytelling skills.

The film was created by a talented team of animators, storyboard artists, character designers, colorists, background artists, music directors and voice actors, led by directors Mikkel Mainz Ekljær and Kennith Ladekjær.

It can be viewed on the Animation Workshop’s page for Bachelor Class projects 2013 (thumbnail at lower right, other years projects here), on Vimeo or on io9.
