Animated feast for the eyes | Animago Afternoon

Terry Pratchett fans will love this short film! The Moldovan “Simpals Animation Studio” teaches the Grim Reaper how to surf!

In nuce: As part of our weekly recurring series “Animago Afternoon”, we present pearls, gems and other splendours from last year’s Animago film festivals at the best time of the afternoon. This time we are showing you the award-nominated animated short film “Death Sails”, realised by Moldovan Simpals Animation Studio, salvaged from the Animago archives in 2015.

What’s behind Death Sails? The team at Simpals Animation Studio has released a series of funny animated short films with Death as the protagonist. The humorous short films were created using Maya, V-Ray and After Effects.

A look behind the scenes: On 05.10.2015 , we told you in detail about the Moldovans who made the following short film – in the course of which we also told you the sympathetic story of the film’s creation, including the associated breakdown, rigging and animation videos. Take a look!
