Maze Goerlitz BFA Animated Art Thesis Spring 2024

Return to Eternium is a surreal exploration of emotion within a fantasy/sci-fi world building portfolio. This is in the form of an easily accessible website. This portfolio is a pitch for an animated film trilogy, where I have only focused on creating material for part one. This includes character designs, environments and architecture, modes of transportation, props and world building maps/blueprints.

This is a story of overcoming one’s anxiety to save the ones you love. The pitch of Return to Eternium, Part I: Into Morphendum reads:

When her sister is falsely imprisoned, Zaei is forced to journey across a world that is not what it seems to get her back.

Zaei’s biggest obstacle isn’t the ever shifting terrain, it’s the chronic condition that causes her to physically freeze during moments of tension. 

Can Zaei learn to accept herself in time to save her sister, or will she be trapped in place forever?
