The Legend of Boruta - High Quality

Фильм және анимация

The year is 1939; Nazi Germany has recently invaded Poland, and many small towns and villages have already become victims of the German raid. A regiment of Nazi soldiers arrive upon a small church nestled in the sprawling wheat fields surrounding the small town of Leczyca. As they enter the church grounds, a low-ranking soldier is ordered into the catacombs deep beneath the church to search for valuables and items of historical and cultural significance for appropriation. Reluctantly, the young soldier heads down, and discovers he has been tainted by the stolen goods, further building the Legend of Boruta.
FILM DESCRIPTION
A short film (approximately ten minutes in length) centered around Boruta - an archaic creature who guards treasures deep within the catacombs of Poland - as he is confronted by unwelcome visitors during the German occupation of Poland amidst World War II. "The Legend of Boruta" is an animated grad-film project by Bartek Nowakowski, completed in April 2007 at the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design (Vancouver, BC). The concept of the film is derived from an old Polish legend that originates from the small town of Leczyca, Poland. The
town - consequently, also Bartek's home town - though small, is saturated with old churches, cathedrals, art,
architecture, stories and legends, all of which have inspired him to create his first film, The Legend of Boruta. .

    Hey everyone! I've noticed a lot of new activity on my channel recently, and most of it is due to my short film The Legend of Boruta, which I uploaded nearly 10 years ago now! It's lovely to see this re-engagement with people who are finding and enjoying my work, but I am wondering if I could provide you guys with more content, and to see what that could be. Maybe I could do a "10 years later" video about the film? Dig up some old concept art, talk about how the film was made, etc. Or maybe talk about where my career has taken me since the launch of the film? I hope I can make this channel into an informative place where I can share insight, techniques, and just generally inspire young people to get into the industry. What do you guys think?

    True but it would not have mattered for two reasons.First he was only concentrating on filling up his bag as quickly as possible so he could get out of that creepy tomb. Especially after that spooky statue started moving on its own when he did so.Second the statue simply looked at him and he went from petrified to stone scraps within a matter of minutes. By that point he could not even run.He could have filled his bag to almost bursting with coins that would probably be worth millions today. He like all the grave robbers before him over the centuries would never get past the exit to spend them. :P

    I know that the story sets it up for you to dislike the soldier (Nazi, stealing, etc), but I can't help feeling alot of sympathy towards the guy. He either does what the captain commanded, or he comes back empty handed from a rich catacomb and faces severe consequences for failure to follow orders. He's in a terrible situation either way he goes about it.
