A corkscrew with a screw loose battles a giant glass bottle to uncork seven magical lightning bugs trapped inside.
Currently an artist at Blue Sky Studios, Ty Primosch is credited on Ice Age, EPIC, RIO2, Peanuts & upcoming movies. Corky is Ty’s debut independent short animation. It was animated out of his apartment, over a 6 year period.
While the short was generated with a computer, every object, sound, and surface was carefully created with imperfections to achieve a handcrafted style for a magical storybook feel. This handcrafted style was also woven into the original score where composer Tyler Durham incorporated kitchen items as instruments.
