Ada

Blue Zoo Short

11-minute short film

Directed by Blue Zoo animator and director, Dane Winn, and inspired by the true survival story of Ada Blackjack, 'Ada' is an experimental short film took the Blue Zoo shorts program in a completely new direction.

Using groundbreaking real-time technology, the team rendered Ada in Unreal Engine to accelerate the process of animated storytelling. The result is a raw and emotive film in an illustrated and characterful style that differentiates itself from a video game-style of animation.
