WE ARE THE SKY

We Are the Sky is a visionary animated project that blends mythological grandeur, retro-futuristic aesthetics, and an emotionally charged narrative. Set in a dystopian world where the sun lies in eternal slumber, this original tale explores love, loss, and redemption on a cosmic scale.

The World

Long ago, the moon broke the heart of the sun. In grief, the sun fell into an endless sleep, plunging Earth into a frozen wasteland. To sustain the scattered remnants of humanity, an elaborate palace was built around the sleeping sun. This massive structure siphons his dwindling energy, distributing it via glowing tubes to remote settlements that cling to survival. The world is a strange, cold fusion of advanced technology and ancient ritual, where solar energy is both lifeblood and sacred essence.

The story’s aesthetic channels the neon glow and synthwave energy of the 1980s, creating a vibrant contrast between the frozen Earth and the warm hues of solar power.

The Heroes

Two “griffins”—a term for law enforcement officers—are at the heart of the tale. Embrune, a spirited and cunning cop with a knack for distraction, and Eddie, her more grounded and resourceful partner, stumble upon a daring plan: confront the moon goddess herself and compel her to apologize to the sun, rekindling his light and restoring the planet.

Embrune and Eddie’s relationship balances humor, friction, and camaraderie, offering a heartfelt counterpoint to the high stakes of their mission. Their dynamic keeps the story grounded, even as the plot soars to celestial heights.

The Mission

Their journey begins in secret, as the mission to awaken the sun is deemed illegal and sacrilegious by the powers that be. The story kicks into high gear at a refueling station, where the duo must power up their flying car with “moon boost juice”—a forbidden solar fuel that will enable them to leave Earth and travel to the moon.

Embrune uses her charm to distract the station’s attendant, a funky priest who presides over the sacred ritual of fuel extraction, while Eddie covertly activates the special fueling mode. However, their plan is compromised when a sharp-eyed cashier notices the switch to moon fuel, triggering an alert to police from another district.

This sets off a heart-pounding chase across the icy, desolate landscape, with flying cars weaving through frozen canyons and abandoned cities. The visual spectacle of neon lights slicing through the snow, coupled with the emotional urgency of their mission, makes for a thrilling centerpiece.

The Moon and Beyond

As they escape Earth’s pursuit and approach the moon, the story promises to delve into cosmic myth. The moon goddess is a complex figure—was her betrayal intentional, or is she bound by forces beyond her control? The ultimate confrontation will test Embrune and Eddie’s resolve, revealing the depth of their courage, ingenuity, and belief in the possibility of renewal.

Why We Are the Sky?

This project combines a wholly original premise with a deeply resonant emotional core. Its retro-futuristic style and mythic themes set it apart as a dazzling, poetic exploration of hope in a world on the brink of eternal night.

SPORE

In the sprawling, photosynthetic dystopia of Garden City, where flower-like skyscrapers power a biotech-driven society, Ruan Muo Li—a semi-famous J-pop singer—meets a tragic and mysterious death on stage, her body drained of all color. A year later, the enigmatic KAIN Sniper Seow, an elite assassin, is tasked with eliminating “Biohazard threats,” mysterious beings who resemble Muo Li. The targets, dubbed Spores, multiply rapidly, spreading across the city as they subvert and infect its carefully engineered order.

Seow’s grim world takes a personal turn when his young daughter, Poppy, crosses paths with the Spores and begins to unravel the truth of their origins—and her own disturbing connection to them. The Spores, led by two chillingly charismatic women, Mauli and Meggui, claim to offer salvation, a new way of life, and an escape from humanity’s oppressive systems. As Seow hunts them, he discovers their roots in Garden City’s experiments with genetic manipulation and begins to question his role as an enforcer of the city’s violent control.

Torn between duty and family, Seow’s mission becomes deeply personal when he realizes Poppy has been drawn into the Spore collective, her humanity slowly eroding. In a final confrontation, Seow is forced to reckon with the world he has helped sustain, his own complicity in its decay, and whether he can save his daughter—or if she is already beyond saving.

Blending cyberpunk noir with poetic allegory, Spore explores themes of identity, transformation, and humanity’s hubris in the face of evolution. As Garden City teeters on the brink of collapse, the Spores may herald the end of humanity—or its strange, beautiful rebirth.
