Road's End- A Short by Bri Meyer

Road's End is my thesis film completed at Ringling College of Art + Design. I was responsible for all areas of the film, including the development of the story, design and creation of all assets, animation, lighting, and compositing. Thanks for watching!

Road's End By Bri Meyer (Explained)

The man you see as a physical form is a hooded figure with a scarf and goggles but in reality he is not there he is a hallucination that shows no emotion but is not leading those who trespass to certain death but warning of the upcomoming events which you see take place in the near-end of the film his watch shines gold alerting the spectre that time is almost up for the human his goggles are showing the upcoming events just before they occur but in truth if that was an existing case it wouldn't be the spectre that killed he/she it would be their fault not watching the road
The mountain is known As Death Valley according to bre Meyer meaning no matter what anyone did he would of died anyway

Ghosts of the people who also died take revenge by taking action of the spectre (man in goggles) meaning this figure is not one but multiple different forms

Thank you for listening

I'm in a memory lane kind of trip in youtube and i've been searching for old student films from ringling. It reminds me of my college days back then around 2009 and these short films kept me company at my rented room bc i had no tv. I wish i could find them all.

One of my favorite ones was the story about a tiny carrot who was searching for his own place bc he didn't get along with the other plants the farmer plant him with

awesome film. love the concept, music, and storyline. That's what most "popular" and big films are missing. FYI saw it on Director's Live and hunted for it here on YouTube.

I love this. Especially how you made it into a paradox. Thumbs Up.

I remember seeing this in primary school like 8-9yrs ago lol, how has the time gone.

[tolmema]

What an interesting little clip. You did a very good job! I'd like to see more of these in the future; hopefully you can gather a team that will help shorten the lengthy process :)

@ballerstew it depends on quality, but it's pricey. I made this in school, so I can't tell you the exact amount, but the cost during that time in tuition, room, board, tech fees, etc. was about 60k. Most people who make shorts either already work in the business, or they get financing from someone. It takes a huge about of time and effort for a single person to do a full film in cg. This took me 1 1/2 years and there's a lot wrong with it that I simply didn't have time to fix. Thanks!
