A group of Dundee University students are celebrating after a six-minute animated film they created went viral online.
Inspired by Finnish folklore surrounding the Aurora Borealis, Fox Fires has been viewed nearly 900,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube.
Director of animation Keilidh Bradley said: “We are completely bowled over by the reaction online.
“I remember stumbling across some student shorts on YouTube in 2009 and falling in love with them.
“Ten years later, I really wanted to create a film that my younger self would be proud of and I’m happy to say we’ve achieved that.”
Galvanised by the response, Keilidh and the team are planning to release a book of art from Fox Fires soon and have already entered the film for viewing at the Edinburgh Short Film Festival.
