The Lonely Mr. Scrim - Trailer - Eric Provan

Here's the trailer for my new short film "The Lonely Mr. Scrim". The story is about a man who lives with his dead wife in a house built on a tree, which grew from a barge that floats on a sea. His life is turned upside down when a giant evil corporation threatens to tear down his home and put in a mall. Things get more complex when a strange creature appears.
You can learn much more about the film by heading to my "making of" blog.
But here are a few quick details.
The film was created entirely by myself. The run time is about 9 minutes. All rendered at 1080hd thanks to the use of renderrocket.com's online renderfarm service. Which I highly reccomend. I started working on the film in Oct. 08. The film is narrated by the main character (Mr. Scrim).

And, as I stated with my last film, the animation is far from the best you'll see. I am not an animator by trade (modeler/texture artist). But, this filmed made better for sure. =) So, maybe about 5 more films before my animation is up to par =)

The film will be sent off to festivals towards the end of the month. I will more then likely post the final film in a few months. Thanks for checking out the trailer!
