The Man Who Saw A Boat by Henrique Barone

The Man Who Saw A Boat portrays the life of a man living underwater is questioned when a boat floats over his head.

Warm colors predominate, even inside the too-familiar sea bed, and turn to a revelry of yellow and orange hues of sunlight when the eye meets the sky. Even though the boat might at first appear dangerously close to a coffin, an act of courage is all it takes to get a new life in this simple but effective film.

Henrique Barone studied Visual Design in Brazil, and after attending the AnimaMundi festival, he decided to become an animator. The Man Who Saw A Boat was produced in the Digital Character Animation program at Vancouver Film School, mixing 3D character animation with a 2D environment.
