Cardinal North is a 3D animated short about finding purpose. It follows the story of a young woman, Lila, who goes to visit the grave of her recently passed aunt, Mary. While there, a cardinal catches Lila’s attention, drawing her toward the edge of a mystical forest. This story is inspired by a want to spread positivity. In a world that often focuses on everything going wrong, it can be hard to remember things that can go right. I hope this short story provides the audience with a place to explore grief, happiness, and a little bit of magic along the way. This work is completed as a senior project for the University of Connecticut BFA in Digital Media Design with a concentration in 3D Animation.
