The Resort is a short by George Thomson, who just recently completed his master’s degree in film and architecture. The work he did was focused around animation, utilizing 3D software to create the impression of a 3D hand drawn environment. The project is part of a wider study about the isle of wight, and in particular, an existing isolated tourist resort. The resort is part derelict and part preserved, but completely abandoned. The film shows a snapshot in a day in the life of the resorts, and indeed the island’s only inhabitant. The narrative outline and direction of the project is heavily linked to the work of J.G.Ballard.
