A man seeks the death of a monster. Made in under 24 hours toy THAC 2026. The theme this year was “revelation”.
We turned this in during the last minute of the competition. Trying to complete this within the allotted time really pushed us. My wife wrote the script, built some sets, and worked on the faces while I tried to push out the animation. A close voice acting friend of mine did the narration. I’m not overly happy with the edit and I didn’t have time to push the sound. That’s the nature of THAC though. Overall I’m excited about what we were able to produce! Hopefully I’ll be able to put out a remastered version when the contest ends.
