A compact Blender horror comedy
“Sprite Fright” is a free ten-minute animated short from Blender Studio. The comedy follows five British visitors, including an environmental activist, whose trip into the countryside becomes considerably more dangerous when the local mushroom-like creatures fight back.
The film combines cheerful cartoon styling with moderate horror and a deliberately nasty turn. It is aimed at viewers who enjoy animated shorts and are curious about an open-movie production created around Blender.
Digital Production’s related character-design feature follows artist Tarek Samaan building a horror mushroom character with ZBrush and Blender. Test any referenced workflow against current software before production use.
