A solo-made animated short film

SEN is a 3 minute animation about a curious robot on a foreign planet, that explores our perception of time and age.

Started during University and animated over a span of 5 years as a one-man endeavour by Maxim Gehricke.
With an original score by Stuart Michael Thomas.

Meet our hero!

This curious little robot is the protagonist of the film. He will go on quite the adventure...

Say hello to Rusty!

He's old, decayed and muddy. But behind the rust, there's some wisdom. Will our hero listen to him?

The Crater

A crater with a crashed spaceship and a mystical portal is the centerpiece of the film's environment.

Creating this asset was quite challenging, since it had to work well from a distance and very close up. It has a fairly complex combination of assets and FX elements that all need to work in harmony to create a believable scene.
