About Vivi Ossa
Vivi Ossa (Latin for “living bones”) is a story about a museum visitor who brings ancient bones to life through the power of music.
It’s a very short film – only two shots – but as you watch it, note that the entire environment is digital; the students created the museum and all the objects inside it from scratch.
