Woodies, the Ethereum-based NFT collection and web3 entertainment brand, is releasing a new short film titled ‘Woodies Origin’ on YouTube. Therefore, through this, they have deemed themself the “Pixar of web3”.
The ‘Woodies Origin’ Film
To clarify, the Woodies collection is forming themselves as a web3 storyteller with their new short film titled ‘Woodies Origin’. The new film represents how NFT artistry can be transformed into films in a classic style. The film is 3-minutes long and is a journey revealing the Woodies’ unique and mystical origin story.
The story goes that Arden is the last remaining member of a chopped-down grove. Then Magical protective Earth spirit, Merkle the Mother Tree, comes to aid lonely Arden. Arden becomes a Woodie, mobile and free to set off on a search-and-rescue mission to find his friends and stop the logger.
Indeed, Richard Powazynski, the co-founder of Woodies, said: “The story flows through everything that we do, storytelling is one of the oldest forms of communication. As a purpose-led project with an environmental focus, it made sense that Woodies would have a strong story.”
He added: “Now the animated short film Woodies Origin is helping us to tell our story in a new and exciting way by bringing our beloved characters to life while also allowing a wider audience to be a part of the Woodies world.”
Furthermore, a teaser of the film can be found here, through the Woodies YouTube channel.
