About Vivi Ossa

Vivi Ossa (Latin for "living bones") is a story about a museum visitor who brings ancient bones to life through the power of music. 

It's a very short film - only two shots - but as you watch it, note that the entire environment is digital; the students created the museum and all the objects inside it from scratch. 

Cast & Crew

Directed by Callum Walters and produced by Matthew Wight, Vivi Ossa brought together many craft disciplines, including CG, compositing, roto, prep, keying, integrating a live action character into a digital set and, of course, animation.
