Title: Lumen: A Tale of Spirits.
Medium/Genre: Animated Short Film; Fantasy and Adventure.
Running Time: 2 minutes.
Synopsis: Luno, a light spirit born at the time of a person's death is separated from their other half, Umbra. Without their other halves, they are unable to pass on to become another living person. Luno has to avoid being seen by lightcatchers, people who are able to see spirits, capture and corrupt their light, turning them in to darklings.
Characters: Luno the light spirit, Umbra the dark spirit and Lightcatchers
Key Scenes: When Luno and Umbra are split apart from the soul will be an important scene since this will be the predicament that they are placed in. When they find each each other but Luno is caught by a lightcatcher which prompts Umbra to save Luno but in the process, almost lets himself be caught in a spell that causes Umbra to slowly dissipate. Overcome with guilt, Luno, with a blinding flash of light somehow manages to cause the darkness that is taking over Umbra to disappear. With that, the two join together in a flash of light and a soul is born, destined to become human again. This scene will have Luno have a bead of darkness that will represent the darkness inside everyone's hearts, no matter how good they are and the light within Umbra to represent that there is always something good we can do no matter how bleak the situation may seem.
Sound recordings: The characters will be silent which means that there are no need for voice actors. However, there will be music throughout the entire animation. The music will progressively become more powerful as the two characters find each other. The music will most likely be Brave Shine by Aimer (In a piano instrumental cover version as the original rock version is not fitting for the theme and is a little too powerful). This will mean I will have to ask for permission due to copyright.
