The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

A beautifully done animation that is clearly SteamPunk. More than just gear driven airships and rayguns, the overall thought process fits perfectly into the genre. It’s a must see.

Set in a world of iron airships, this silhouette animation tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his plague-ridden home hoping to redeem himself. His expedition leads him to an island which is home to a monster that may hold the cure for the Plague. The journey back is filled with dangers but, Jasper soon discovers that the greatest horror of all lies within man himself.
