Summary: The lead character, whom the film is named after, is a solid black inky figure with a fountain pen. His world is exclusively black and white until red ink starts appearing. These red creations are all destructive: fires, tigers, lava, etc. Blot obviously wants to eliminate these threats and their source, and begins battling a red inky being similar to himself. He later sneaks a peak of his enemy trying to create pleasant things in his red ink like roses and cardinals, but they go wrong and accidentally become dangerous fires and dragons. Blot begins to understand this red character is not a threat, and embraces change and color in his former dull world. It is a story that can be applied to many circumstances: it is human nature to be unaccepting of things we're not used to until we gain a deeper understanding and learn to appreciate our differences.
Blot
Blot is a short film concept that combines 2D and 3D animation for a 2D appearance with the benefits of using a 3D space for more dynamic action scenes. The audio consists only of homemade sound effects over Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia," and the color palette is exclusively grayscale with some red. These features make the short film accessible to a greater audience.
