Sapling

Every generation must prove itself and in the world of the griffin that involves a test set by the elders.  One young griffin is given charge of two magic seeds and instructed to propagate them.  Yet he is inexperienced and suffers one mishap after another.  Can things finally go right for him?

This animated short was made by four students at the Arts University Bournemouth in 2013, Kat Seale, Catherine Epps, Gareth Ermisz and Noel Wong.  Great works, guys and both a pleasure and a relief to see that students at British institutions can produce something which bears comparison with those produced at animation courses at overseas institutions such as Supinfocom in France and Ringling in the US.
