Now graduated, Maude Breton created this short during her studies at Cégep du Vieux Montréal. It’s a CG piece titled Au sommet du monde, le Roi a Froid (At the Top of the World, the King of Cold).

But where does it go? I wanna know. You will too, as you finish watching The Helmet, the stop-motion, thesis animation from Jen Bamford, a 4th year student at Sheridan College.

The film is wide open for interpretation, and along the way you’ll be quite mesmerized by the smooth animation and eerie soundtrack.
