Mycelium

On a barren planet, a shaft of light suddenly splits the sky. The ground moves, the earth trembles, rocks shatter and rumble. The air mellows. After the stones' hustle, a strange vegetation settles in. The rhythm speeds up and one discovers a fascinating universe.

Mycelium depicts a disturbing wild nature, a blend of fantasy and reality, science fiction actually: Space off the human scale but not so far away...This high quality 3D animation is also accompanied by a delicious matching music.

Mycelium is a disturbing thought provoking journey into a rotten pear. A universe made of textures and animals, a fight for survival. Somehow a good metaphor, a sort of Matrioska, to remind us that every universe is composed by its little parts, each of them important, each of them struggling. In the end the difference between a rotten pear and our world seems smaller than ever.

Mycelium is a beautiful organic & artificial trip, in a strong atmosphere that shelves life & breathing, parasites & microorganisms. With a music's floating timing both in picture & sound.

This seems to be a bcross between a Fantasia creation story and a demo reel to show off CGI skills, which the animator surely has in spades. The twist at the end does seem to turn eye candy into a story but it feels a little tacked on.

I picked Mycelium for it’s tight pacing in visual storytelling and unique, experimental storyline. It heightens in action as we move through the story. It’s a piece that takes the audience on a journey posing the question: what seemingly, intangible, sci-fi world are we seeing unfold? The build up takes us to a place we are not expecting. We have now seen the inner workings of a pear rotting in an everyday, florescent-lit refrigerator. It is a story that we, as humans, are not involved with emotionally in our day to day, but one that we are able to understand and connect to in a very different context. This displacement is what makes this piece work in a unique, one of a kind way.
