Science Fiction. Gyroscopes. Propellers. And an man with a dream. — A documentary feature following Laurence, an ageing inventor

Living at the fringe of society who makes one last attempt to achieve his lifelong dream: to build a zero-emission aircraft using gyroscopes as propellers. As the story progresses, we understand his traumatic family past holds the key to his obsession.

The animation process is crafted to convey a sense of constructive simplicity. Drawing inspiration from the evocative aesthetics of old retro sci-fi book covers, I aimed to blend this nostalgic visual style with the precision of a CAD drawing breakdown.

This approach not only highlights the intricate design but also evokes a sense of wonder and timelessness, maintaining an engaging and accessible narrative throughout the animation.
