Juanca Arniz's profile

El Sepulturero (The Gravedigger)

SYNOPSIS
A curious boy enters the cemetery of his town to accompany the gravedigger during a night of work.
'El Sepulturero' (The Gravekeeper) was born as a children's story, written by Abraham S. Muñoz-Cruzado, with a clear intention. The story was first illustrated and self-published by Juanca Arniz.
Over time, Juanca decides to expand his 3D knowledge and recreates the boy's character in Blender, as well as practising rigging, texturing and animation.
After seeing the potential of the tool, in a small push he creates the animatic of the story and shows it to several friends. Among them is Antonio Rosa, who confirms the story as worthy of being told and finished, as well as taking charge of production and distribution.

Since June 2022, the short film has been in a cycle of film festivals around the world, which you can see here.
