Fortitude - A Short Stop Motion Film
Project Overview
Fortitude is a 3-4 minute Stop Motion film that I am making for my graduating year at University. It will consist of 3 hand made puppets, many hand made props and 3 hand made sets. I have created this film to show my skills in prop and puppet building and fabrication and would love some talented voice artists to help give my film that extra something special!
A small Nordic family are
responsible for answering the call of the Gods and ending Ragnarok by
finding and wielding the “Sword of The Gods”
the father, Solveig leaves to
fulfil this leaving his wife, Dahlia and daughter, Svanhild, on their snow
swept land where they struggle with his absence and surviving in the harsh
environment.
Svanhild
believes that her father has been gone for too long and wishes to go and find
and help him, her mother believes however that her father has already met his
fate and can't bear the thought of losing her child as well so forbids it,
prompting the daughter to leave under the cover of night.
When Svanhild
eventually finds her father after travelling through snow covered mountains and
avoiding the monstrous enemy he lies dead with the sword their family was
tasked to find plunged in in his chest corrupted and cursed by the enemy.
fuelled by her sense of vengeance
and grief she removes the sword of the gods thrusting it skyward. The sword
responses to her spirit and glows with the power of the gods, she will succeed
where her father failed.

Dahlia is a 35 year old mother of Svanhild, the main character.
The prophecy of Ragnarok was long foretold and the endless winter had already come to pass, but never did I expect the salvation of our land to be laid upon my town, my home, and my daughter.
It's your father's sworn duty to find The Sword of The Gods. The war is no place for our darling swan.
Your father tried to protect you from this. You, Svanhild, were destined to be the one to end Ragnarok. Your father wanted you to be ready.
