**Award Winning** CGI 3D Animated Short Film "Le Gouffre" by Lightning Boy Studio | CGMeetup
*Award Winning* CGI 3D Animated Le Gouffre Short Film by Lightning Boy Studio - Carl Beauchemin, Thomas Chrétien, David Forest. Featured on www.cgmeetup.net/home/le-gouffre/
An inspiring tale about friendship, sacrifice and conquering the impossible.
Le Gouffre is the first animated short film produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, a young creative team based in Montreal. The film tells the story of two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it. Released in February 2015, the project had first gained a lot of attention following the huge success of its Kickstarter campaign, which allowed the creators to finance the movie's post-production. Many were impressed by the passion and determination of the small team of three animators, who spent more than two full years creating the 10-minute film.
As of now, Le Gouffre has been selected in more than 60 festivals around the world and won nine awards, four of them for "Best Animated Short".

His final act was an act of kindness, as he told the villagers that their help was successful. When he knew he was going to fall, he thought of the others, to give them hope and courage.
He survived the fall, fell in a river, got saved by a native, and lived on!
He made the false signal b'coz he did not want other people to give up hope.
Who came from tiktok
It made me tears. As being a big supporter my father didnt revealed my family that he got a heart attack kept on visiting doctors without telling us paid our college fees and didt spent on his health. After his death within one week i got doctor bills under his bed sheet, later on i visited that clinic the doctor said your father got a severe heart attack while sleeping but suvived and his lungs got watery so also got asthema but he said he had 2 options either to pay his son college expenses or to do treatment to survive but being 67 year old he choosed his son's future and thats me. I can never forget this sacrifice and would say that those who think that parents brought us up so that we would take care of them in their old age thats not true parents love and do sacrifices for us unconditionally. i miss my dad 😟😟😟😟😟😟
Two perspectives to that ending - one in tragedy - the other is celebration......quite beautiful - touching indeed 🔥❤️
Need See Complete 🥹😒
There is something so deeply lovable about the two characters. The comfort with which they do labor. They are victorious in the beginning itself...the end is just the manifestation of the victory that they already had within them...its spiritual.
The flare gave the farmers hope that both had made it, even though they wouldn’t have known, and will never know, the truth
the one who died had a pain for a moment the one who lived will feel that his entire life.
Fun fact: This 10 minute short film was created for more than 2 full years. The dedication of the artists is so unimaginable.
Saw this years ago and today I rewatched it... It's so cinematic and beautiful
Wow this was more powerful than many full-length movies nowadays.
This deserves more than just a award..
Movies like these have more of an emotional impact on me then most 100+ million dollar big budget movies... Thank You.
I love it. Every subtle detail. It contains characters,a goal, a plan, obstacles, a climax, great music, set ups and payoffs, and even someone's character arc (the farmer) . This is amazing. This goes to show that storytelling elements can be applied even to the shortest, and they have to.
It's incredible and simply superb. The way the girl ran to help them in the rain is very heart-touching. when all villagers join I felt thrilled to see their helping hands. The climax is very emotional and heart touching.
Truly a masterpiece, culmination of emotions of love, hope, friendship, kindness and at last sadness, everything in a short film of 10 minutes, hat's off to creator of this film.
The two main characters’ facial expressions and gestures communicated their irrepressible spirits so strongly. A masterpiece of animation. ❤
wow, three animator pulled this enormous task of making this short, Everything was top notch. It took them three years to make it. But certainly its paid off.
