JACK & THE FOUR BEANS

 

“Jack & the Four Beans” is a project based on the pre-production of an animated feature film in its entirety. The goal was to conceive a film in the early stages of development, taking the process from story building, to character creation, all the way to environment brainstorming and teaser animations.

 

The plot of “Jack & the Four Beans” is a retelling of the classic tale “Jack & the Beanstalk.” We find our hero, Jack, in his home town of Nimbia high above the clouds. When destruction comes to his front door step Jack must come face to face with his destiny. A Giant is wreaking havoc on the surface world below and has stolen the magic beans, a source of power that keeps the world in balance. Jack must find a way down below the clouds, rescue the Goddesses who each hold a sacred bean, and find a way to stop the Giant from causing more chaos.
