A little background information...

Made for the Depict film festival 2013, after finishing the 2nd year of my university degree in animation, I was looking for a summer project to improve my skills and prepare myself for my third year film. I decided to create an experimental film based on a technique I had played around with once during term time. I wanted to challenge myself and create the film individually with the only help being with audio and advice.

How was the film made?

All animation was done traditionally on paper, cleaned up on paper, scanned into the computer, printed on card, inked, cut out and shot using the replacement technique in hand painted and carved celotex sets.
