We had a vision for a mystic universe, and we knew that building that for a stop frame animation would definitely be a challenge. We thought of a main character who would be able to translate that mysticism, a fantastic creature, The God. Cernunnos,  a celtic God who embodies the force of nature and it’s balance along with its protection was chosen to be represented by our imagination. The story would tell how the God relates to the nature around him, and portrays him with his classical looks, sitting by an ancient Oak Tree, cross legged, bonded with his surroundings.

Now we invite you to sit back and share with us a close view to Whispers Of Magic project.


Set Sketch 

At the Sacred Centre, in the Grove of all Worlds, He sits with legs crossed beneath an ancient Oak. Entranced, connecting the three worlds Earth, Sea, and Sky, and the worlds behind the worlds, the god and the Great Tree are One, His immense limbs widespread, stretching into distant sky and starry space.”

“When the seeker reaches the god’s forest the track ends, and her/his pathways are found by other means. After entering the Wildwood the seeker cannot be followed, nor can s/he follow another. Whatever pathways are discovered disappear in passing, and the Wood is trackless once again, for each one’s way is different.”

“In the Forest of Cernnunos there is a stillness, an otherworldly feeling, as if one has passed out of time. Here the mind is not supreme. It is instinct, the innate wisdom of the body that guides us to Him.”

30 sticks of hot glue;
5 tubes of Universal adhesive;
3 kg of clay, lots of aluminum wire, felt, paper, 
patience and love.

With such a detailed setting in our hands, we’ve planned on animating each and every detail of it. The flowers would swing with the wind, the water would be flowing under the bridge, nature would be alive and speaking.


A total of 430 pictures were taken 
so Whispers of Magic could come to life.
