c synopsis c
Patricius, a drunken knight, seeks to prove himself worthy by rescuing his beloved Princess Jadeite from the evil lair of Timore the Terrible Dragon. Patricius quickly realises that his alcohol, his trusty steed, Donkinius and even his weapons are all futile in disarming and defeating his enemy.
Truly Valiant is a brief allegory of the spiritual transformation experienced by believers through the Holy Spirit, as we exercise faith and obedience. More specifically, the storyline illustrates the divine power that is inherent in and available to every person who is in relationship with God through Christ.
The animated short was created using a mixture of traditional and digital methods, over the course of one year. All backgrounds used within the film were hand painted (by Jade Carberry) with watercolour paint on 5x7 inch paper. Each painting was then scanned, edited and composited for each scene. The animation was executed digitally, using TVPaint Animation software and composited using Apple Motion 5.
