The Child of Fire, original title L'Enfant du feu, is a French animated short film I made when I was a student at Sorbonne Nouvelle, using Blender. The 2 min 23 sec film blends adventure and historical storytelling. It was made by a friend and me in one month, before I had taken any 3D animation classes at school.

Story note
Once upon a time, in a LEGO world, an extraordinary young woman told the stories of fire, in times of peace as well as chaos. In this tale, this child of fire evokes the fate of the forgotten, victims of discrimination and massacres carried out by flames. In a brick-built universe, rediscover the evolution of fire's uses and the full extent of its power, whatever form it takes.
