An ethereal soundtrack underscores a continuous zoom through a sequence of dark and atmospheric dreamscapes, ending in the black void of the protagonist’s pupil. Trailer Park Unicorn is an independent short film – a fairy tale about a young unicorn boy who struggles to find a sense of belonging in the surreal environment of the trailer park where he lives. It’s quite unusual for a short independent production to have such an elaborate main title sequence.

Vincent Scotti: “I was hired to do the credits before the filming began and at that time the credits I presented were story boarded by myself and Michelle Perez as a extensive 3d fly through going from the sky to the town over a lake and into the village and right up to the opening scene. But once I saw the footage and the fantasy feel the film was taking on I ditched the heavy 3D and decided to go with a more children's picture book feel. My big inspiration was old circus posters. Plus who wants to do all that rendering. I think the one thing that really helped was the soundtrack by Patrick Watson. I was given the track when I was almost 75% complete in the design and once I lined it up with what I had it really kicked.
