Abstract

A 4 minute 2D animated short film about a little ghost with agoraphobia who gets locked out of the house he haunts, and then goes on an amazing adventure all over town when he finds a rainbow umbrella. Music by Matthew J Webster and has been used with his permission. The film opens with a little ghost staring out a window with disinterest. He then begins to fly around his house, dancing with loops and twirls. Until he accidently flies out the door, which closes behind him with a slam. He's locked outside! Soon it begins to rain, and so he decides to find shelter elsewhere. After a while, the rain begins to go away, and that's when he spots a rainbow umbrella sitting on the sidewalk near him. He flies over to investigate, and when he lifts it up to inspect the object, the wind suddenly picks up! And off he goes! He begins to fly all over town, over the trees, buildings, and fountains! He is so scared, and all he wants is to go back home. Suddenly he shoots high up into the clouds and opens his eyes to see a marvelous sunset just before him. His eyes widen, and he smiles, knowing finally that he is right where he needs to be.
