Ruin

Set in a green post-apocalyptic future Ruin is an animated action short film directed by Wes Ball, who describes it as his “passion project”. In his day job Wes is doing graphic work for HBO and DVD/Blu-ray featurettes while he has been working on ‘Ruin’ off and on for the last two years. With its science fiction/action premise it might be a bit “special interest” for some but it is definitely a must-watch. Hope you have 8 minutes to spare, it’s worth it.

Also, check out OddBall Animation for more awesome work and a making off.
