Sent is
our second work in virtual reality and our first VR story short film.
Lately, some key figures in the CG field have questioned the
viability of narrative storytelling in the VR medium. Sent is our
first attempt in answering the question.
This 5-minute, 40-second short tells the story of an emoji
“Goodbye.” The narrative begins inside the phone of a boy who is
having a quarrel with his girlfriend. Behind the chat screen, all
kinds of emoji characters are gathered and vie to be chosen and
applied to the conversation. When the boy selects “Goodbye,” the
emoji embarks upon a magical journey that would turn things in
surprising ways for all.
