What is the film about?

A hunter, some poo sniffing and some deer.

What influenced it?

The idea for HUNT first came to Luke from a couple of his Inktober drawings. The Hunter was originally a cheeky gremlin with a slingshot that would track and shoot deer, but he soon developed into an overly confident human archer.

Inspiration came from Over the Garden Wall, Bambi, and the blind archers from Samurai Jack.

A little background information...

Over the last couple of years a few members of the Rumpus Team have, slowly but surely, been squirrelling away on their very own idents.

The brief was to create a short animation anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds, on the vague theme of What a RUMPUS!, and including the R! logo.

How was the film made?

All animated in Toon Boom (Advanced) – drawn frame by frame.

Design, Animation and Direction: Luke Hyde
Sound Design: James Keeble
Produced by RUMPUS!
