Synopsis
“The Fallen Feather” is a fantasy story set in ancient China that follows the journey of two unexpected strangers, An Xia and Ling.

As they spend more time together, their relationship evolves.
Artist Statement
As the creators of “The Fallen Feather” we wanted to showcase our love for the toon shader style and 2D Japanese animation, while incorporating elements of our Chinese cultural background. Our use of bold colours and expressive character designs, along with dynamic animation, serves to enhance the overall style of the film. Through our lighthearted story, we hope to explore themes of friendship and trust, while also incorporating a fantastical element that reflects our culture. Ultimately, our goal was to create a work that is visually captivating and emotionally resonant, with a universal message that speaks to viewers of all ages and backgrounds.
