Prison of the Clairvoyant

Share Collapse

This animation is an entry for the Bad Dream theme of the Animation Jam.


I admit, this is a weird one. It makes one ask more questions than it gives answers to whoever watches this. But a mystery is better than none. It doesn't make it easy to make sense of it, because where's the fun in that? I'd love to hear what you think is happening here. Enjoy.


PS


I couldn't find some way to tell this story in a shorter time frame, in 15 secs or so. This was supposed to be longer actually, and could have been more polished but there was only so much I could make within a month so I had to compromise. Hopefully this story will make more sense to you guys once the rest of the animation jam themes start rolling in!

Well, you want to hear theories, so here's mine.

As a hint from the title, this girl is clairvoyant in some way, seeing a mix of everything that has, is, or will happen. She has a fox spirit as a companion, who accompanies her as she travels through her visions. However, she dreads falling asleep, as that is when her worse visions happen. As she is about to fall asleep under a tree, her fox companion notices and gives her a nip to rouse her. Panicking, she realizes what's about to happen and grabs a knife and a lemon, cutting the lemon and her arm and rubbing the lemon into her wound, desperately trying to stay awake. She fails, and has a vision that leaves her in tears, horrified.

This was good

This one really came out well and some nice surprise out of this and some really good content made for some fun too a really creative style you pushed on this one so nice entry

~X~

this is really very spectacularly the best entry for the bad dreams jam!!!

Haha, T-posing red stickman go BRRR.

Classic japanese horror compressed into a minute and a half. Triggered my ASMR too. Should I be worried that 'Prison of the Clarvoyant' speaks a little too close to home for me? Nahhhh.
