For my Graduation Film of my Degree in Fine Arts I decided to do a personal short film using stop motion.
The story is an autobiographical tale of my summers growing up in "Ruidera", a natural area in central Spain.

This was a whole course individual project that kept me working non-stop in Middlesex University (London), where I finished my degree.
The film went through several phases until I found the best way to effectively tell the story was with cut-outs on a multiplane, a technique I had always been very interested is.
Here you can see some of this phases including early storyboards, sketches and pictures of the making-of.
