‘An Object at Rest’, An Animated Short Film Telling the Story of a Stone Over Geological Eras

An Object at Rest” is an animated short film by Seth Boyden that tells the story of a stone over geological eras and the eventual interruption of the stone’s peaceful slumber caused by humans. The beautiful watercolor backgrounds set an organic tone that highlights the earthy, natural feel of the film.

Boyden also created a series of adorable miniatures from scenes in the film.
