A CGI 3D Short Film: "Plum" - by ESMA | TheCGBros

I thought this is gonna be heartbroken once i see the adult skeletons but im glad their offsprings is safe and sound. This is why i love independent animators.

THIS WAS AMAZING! I may be stupid for saying this, but seeing recognition for how interesting and cool gigantoraptors are is rarely shown. Their species is one of a kind! Edit: To anyone who thinks the little cuties are citipati or oviraptor, the adult skeletons were massive! And when comparing it to the sauropod skeleton, it HAS to be gigantoraptor. No other species could get that big.

[@delabeyenicolas2386]

As one of the co-creators of this little ball of blue feathers, I wish to express everyone my deepest thanks for all the positive comments and constructive criticisms ! Plum is the fruit (pun intended) of a lot of discussions, sometimes heated in regard to what it should be : how scientifically accurate should we be (spoilers : in the end, not that much, which was a bit saddening for the dino lovers part of the crew) ? Should we completely break the heart of our poor audience or should we leave a place for hope ? Is the dragonfly a friend or a foe ? How many plums could Plum eat ? After all these (more or less) deep questions and hard work, we are so grateful to see this short having such success ! Once again, thank you for the love you showed to this little baby dinosaur making his first footsteps in this hard world.

In case anybody is wondering about what dinosaur Plum is, he is an Oviraptor Edit: nvm I was wrong, apparently he is a Citipati or Gigantoraptor.

[@mrcompy3050]

[@princesschanelsworld6662]

thank you

[@delabeyenicolas2386]

A citipati indeed ! At least it was our original inspiration, the style blured the lines a bit.

[@TheMightyN]

Becoming born in a world where your kind is non-existent is a depressing thought to think of. Inexpediently it could remind someone of the "Last Man on Earth" troupes found in _I Am Legend_ or the titular 1964 film; it leaves an empty void to wonder if hope is anywhere to be found. Luckily for this little guy, there was a happy ending.

[@delabeyenicolas2386]

You got it right ! One of the things we wanted to talk about in this short movie was the feeling the new generation was experiencing : being born at the edge of the end of a world. Are you born too late or too soon ? Once the innocence is gone and when you see in how precarious your situation really is, it is easy to despair. Fortunately, it is only the end of a world, there is no such thing as a definitive end.

[@RabbidsTheRabbit]

​@@gustavotorres-ky8kmi geuss no bc as we see the adult skeleton / Skull is kinda alot more bigger than oviraptor so we can say is a gigantoraptor

[@terrytheinsane]

​@Mr_Ghost_Dragapult Gigantoraptor has a shorter crest, I doubt it's meant to be a particular species but it is definetly at least an oviraptorid judging by the shape of the skull (in case someone doesn't know Gigantoraptor is a caenagnathid, it's often mistaken for an oviraptorid because caenagnathids are very closely related and similar to oviraptorids)

[@dartskyee]

I think it is a velociraptor and brachiosaurus hybrid, brachiosaurus has its nostrils over its eyes, and velociraptors have feathers. Its my opinion. And the arms are bigger than a gigantoraptor's

[@dweebteambuilderjones7627]

The ancestors of modern birds already existed when oviraptorids were around.

[@AbdullohHamidov-io8uq]

the cute dinosaur was frightened when he realized that all his relatives had been died and he felt lonely. In a way, he thought, "What will I do now?" However, when he saw the remaining eggs, he understood that he wasn't alone, just the first. He realized that the others would hatch from the eggs after him, and he became very happy. For example, in life, we might notice, understand, or realize something before anyone else, and seeing that there's no one ahead of us on this path can make us anxious. We might doubt whether what we've realized is actually correct and worry about being alone in this thought. However, it takes time for others to understand or realize it as well - everyone hatches from their egg at their own time. When we understand this, we become happy, and those previous anxieties fade away. They will inevitably hatch one day and be with us; the only unknown is when. This is a very broad analogy, of course, but that's what I think. Everything has its own time, and there's no need to worry about it before its time comes.

[@js66613]

This was gorgeous. And I love how adorably you portrayed the little dinosaur - not like a monster, but also not in the same style as other major studios have even when portraying them as neutral or good.

You Just wanted the First Comment, Didn't You?! Phantom actually Watched It First....but, Then, Phantom Didn't Get to Post the FIRST Comment anyways..... NOW, after Reading through the comments and replies, Phantom's concerned about the Age Group and Intelligence Levels of The Target Audience! It's a Cuteness Overload Cartoon that has Nothing to Do With Jesus Christ, Evolution, Real Living Creatures, Mythology, Science, Facts, Nature or much of Anything Else!!! Phantom doesn't really Care What specific Species the protagonist Is. He's Just presuming😂 It's an Oviraptor philoceratops. But, It could be Any of several related Species. It's NOT a Bird, or one of the Specific Avialae Ancestral Species. Just, one of (possibly thousands) subspecies occupying The Maniraptorae which just happens to include Avialae! Phantom's actually Surprised That an argument concerning the character's gender hasn't yet ensued! Stupid Monkeys!

Everyone talks about how it's a cute short film (and it is, it's adorable❤), but can we please appreciate the scientific accuracy of the dinosaur designs? as well as the animation and the colors!

This exact animation is the only animation that made me play cos (creatures of sonaria) and other games, survival on a alien planet as one of the many critters and creatures the game has to offer. This is peak animation, and thank you creators to make me play those games, i love them and if i ever make a game on roblox, i will definitely base something off of this animation,probably the hatching cutscene, make it seem more lively, make it different based off the size of the hatchlings, Also if you have roblox play land of vertica if you like being a critter on a distant planet, unlike creaturesof sonaria, it doesn't have gambling, it ,akes you buy any creatures you want.

When you dont see anyone else “like” you.. because they dont know what you are or if you will hurt them.. youre simply “it” .. no one has no name for you.. or name you based on if you eat them or not.. grounded in a world of dragon f’lies…. all you can due is change how others see you by being something not scary but easy on the eyes. A unique being that others can see themselves in.. without words
