Quirky, dark & disturbing stop-motion short

How it was made

It was made by Lucrece Andreae, a French animation director and character designer who recently graduated from renowned animation schools Gobelins and La Poudriere. Using what looks like painted paper of various thickness, she has created a unique stop motion look that is enhanced by moody lighting and strong colour grading.

The movement throughout the animation is super fluid and is matched by the sparkly sinister sound design. For more information on how the film was made, take a look at these behind the scenes images.

Also check out the trailer for Andreae's new short, which has a completely different hand drawn style.
