Chime | CGI Animated Short Film | The One Academy

A story about a demotivated Dreamcatcher finally finds his purpose after he experienced a significant incident that happened to his master dreamer.

Dreamcatcher are famously known to ward off nightmares, but what if rather than a charm they're something akin to guardian angel?
Our story starts off with a nightmare dust bunny bubbled and popped away by a lethargic dreamcatcher. Having to capture nightmare after nightmare every night, he's become tired of his job. When he sees a dream bubble he cannot help but be amazed and curious about the little thing, causing him to be distracted and not see the growing nightmare clouds surrounding the child. Noticing the catasthrophy unfold, he has to find a way to bubble it up and save the child from a painful night.
