The Chitin Hunter. Developed as an entirely independent graduation film at the Plankton Collective animation studio, The Chitin Hunter takes a fresh, amusing, and deeply atmospheric look into the mystical undercurrents of everyday life. The story follows the chaotic ups, downs, and unexpected wonders of a student who shares an extraordinary, secret connection with ancient spirit creatures. As these worlds collide within a traditional classroom setting, a routine school day transforms into a vibrant visual journey balancing mundane realities with folklore-driven magical realism. Inspired By: The frantic, vibrant chaos of student life, regional spiritual folklore, and whimsical character-driven animated narratives that find extraordinary stories hidden within ordinary spaces.
