Inspiration Artists and Forefront week 24: Between Bears by Hornet Films

Between Bears the short film by Hornet Films, winner of the best animation award at Vimeo first film festival, it's a great example of story telling through music. The film doesn't has any dialogues between characters or gestures that connect the development of the story, instead the film uses music and very light sounds to narrate and communicate the emotions of the characters.  At the beginning of the films the music created a mysterious and suspense environment, then the music changed to show the start of a journey with higher and faster sounds. The silence was also managed to communicate the end of a period in the story, some times very long to also give a enigmatic and artistic meaning.

In our project The Idea Thief, we also are not going to use any dialogues, that's why Between Bears helped us as inspiration to create a narrative which communicates without words.
