Elsi - is the first 3D animated film created by two Kazakh female artists, me and Aya Rustemova for Steppe.
Concept:
On a remote, lifeless planet lost in the depths of time and space, a wanderer from the future roamed. In his company was a loyal robot hound. During his travels on this lifeless planet, the wanderer stumbled upon an astonishing statue, forgotten in time and space. Initially, it seemed ordinary, but upon closer examination, it became clear that something remarkable lay within it.
The wanderer carefully explored the statue and discovered that it held the musical legacy of Kazakhstan from the 2020s.
The plot unfolds through four key parts in which the camera smoothly moves through space, showcasing the sandy biome and important characters. We maintain a minimal level of animation for the characters, focusing on details, camera movement, and special effects to emphasize the atmosphere and nuances of the story. Parts 1-4:
1- Exiting the spaceship
2- Notices the sand dune
3- Approaches the sand dune
4- Listens to the music
Development of the location.
