Teaser Trailer

In silence, a signal.

Signalman is Pendulum Animation’s debut short and is based on a true story. Set during the final months of World War II, the film follows Dick, a sailor eager for word of his brother’s whereabouts as he holds out hope that they will return home safely.

Production began in 2023 as a small, independent effort led by Brian Colby. Over time, a skilled group of artists helped bring the vision to life, shaping the film’s environments and characters with care and dedication.

Stay tuned for more information on the film’s release.
