Paper City - a short animation

Maciek Janicki 2013-06-10 09:36 article > Animation

The streets are paved with paper. This delicate animation follows the charming rise and fold of a fragile metropolis.

Captured by an unseen helicopter, the narrative unfolds through winding roads, erupting forests and emerging mountains. Paper City grows in one fluid take, with skyscrapers rising from the page – only to crumble, wrinkle and gently crease back into the ground.

This is the first animation in C4D by Maciek Janicki. This piece took 3-4 months to finish.
