Although both trolls are technically the same species, they embody entirely opposing ideas, personalities, and appearances. Big Troll is huge and rocky, not very bright but a well meaning character. His life revolves around collecting shiny objects for his vast collection. Little Troll is small and mossy, clever, but selfish and superior. She spends all of her time gardening and only cares about her plants.
The story tells of their meeting and of Big Troll's efforts to impress Little Troll, efforts that don't go down too well. Little Troll tricks Big Troll into leaving on a quest to win her affections, needless to say her plan backfires in true dramatic tradition.
In short this is a comedic tale of cruel irony.
The film consists of two characters, simple props and painted backgrounds. I want to use 3D animation in juxtaposition with an illustrative modeling style and painterly textures, hopefully creating a computer generated film that has the visual warmth of 2D animation and drawn illustrations.
I want to challenge the general preconceptions that are linked to CG animation and show that it doesn't have to be super slick and hyper realistic. That there can be a balance struck between the different media of mainstream animation.
That it is and always will be an art form with just as much room for self expression as any traditional medium.
