Inspiration for "Artifact"

Inspired by the immersive, dark and gloomy atmosphere of video games such as "Inside", director Kristis Bandzevicius wanted to tell a story "based on surroundings rather than using dialogue", a simple tale of "a lonely robot in a desolate world, searching for any signs of life."

"Artifact" was created as part of the final module of the Master's Degree in 3D Animation, Module DA704, which involves the creation of a final project and demo reel.
