Graduation film from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Scotland.
Note from the director:
I pitched this idea in February 2018 and had the privilege of working with a number of my classmates and 3rd-year assistants. They each brought so much talent and enthusiasm to telling this story and I couldn't have been more fortunate to have them as my team. Please stay for the credits and look them up!
Fox Fires is inspired by the Finnish folk tale of the aurora borealis. The film blends 2D and 3D animation together.
Thank you so much to my composer, Denny Schneidemesser, for all of his help in bringing the film together and for scoring the work so beautifully. I've admired Denny's work since I first watched animated shorts on KZfaq and decided to pursue animation myself, having him on board was a dream come true.
More beautiful work on his KZfaq channel:

Growing up on the Navajo and Zuni Indian Reservations, I loved the legends about how the animals taught the humans life lessons. I read these stories from Indigenous people's from all over the world and loved them all. As my dad told us, my brother and sisters, these stories have a distinctly human sound to them. I think that he knew exactly what he was telling us as he relayed these stories over a campfire.

The fox wanted to be a star just like everyone else, when something much greater was in store for her. If something doesn't happen the way you want it to, do not despair. There could be something so much better than you could have ever imagined possible waiting for you. Don't limit yourself to what everyone else can do. Be true to yourself and you may find a purpose greater than what you were striving for.

Interestingly enough, the English name is borrowed from the French, who were the first to call them the _"Northern Lights"._ Though the words _"Aurora Borealis"_ originate from the Roman deities - Aurora: Goddess of Dawn & Borealis: God of the North Wind - hence "Lights from the North" or "Northern Lights". - Though I quite like _"The Fox Fires"_ in Latin too - _"Vulpes Ignes"_

@hearto_smarto 4 жыл бұрын

I agree a whole lot with your statement. I know that feeling too, believe me, I do. What I got out of the story was that if you try your very hardest but do not succeed the first, second or even third time, it's probably not because you're not good enough, but because you're trying in a way that's not good enough for you. You observe others and how they succeed in their own sort of way, and in turn, try to do it yourself. The problem with that is that it isn't always guaranteed to work. What's best for others isn't necessarily the best for you. Most goals are achieved in a different way and most of the time in an unexpected way. That's only my opinion of it, of course.

every time I watch this I just break into tears it just drags you into the story and you develop a connection with these animals because you know the importance of the roles they serve to light up the night sky as stars and constellations, while the fox feels left out the foxes curiosity reflects our own curiosity and it just shows so much emotion when the fox feels left out because they too wanted to help light up the night sky and felt left out cause they didn't feel like they were able to help when in revelation just as the other animals are important the fox is the spiritual guide to those living on the earth in the north and the south, and to those who visit the fox is the guide to the spirits and the ancestors and what they left behind for us to discover.

The legend of revontulet, or Fox's fires, is that there is this mythical Firefox which all the hunters desired to hunt which is very, very elusive and if you managed to hunt it you would get the riches and fame. The aurora borealis come from fox running between the fells, tail whipping the snow in to the sky and fur scratching the trees producing sparks setting the sky in fire.

"In Finnish, this phenomenon is called revontulet, which means “fox fires”. In other countries it is known as the Northern Lights or the Aurora Borealis, the northern dawn. The Aurora season begins in Finnish Lapland as soon as the nights start becoming colder - this far north, that’s at the end of August. In bygone days, people believed that the auroras were created by foxes running over the tundra emitting sparks. On the other hand, the ancient Finns also called magic spells by that name, so we could also think of the Finnish name for the Northern Lights as meaning “spell fires”." Love this video, greetings from finland!
