Making a movie is a hard and difficult work, for sure.
But also the most magical.
During 3 years I've been working on a personal production using this ancestral technique.
I've done the major work by myself, from scripting, designing the sets and the character, storyboarding, making the previz, modeling and casting the puppets and creating every single thing that appears on the screen from the scratch.
But sometimes I had the chance to work with great artists in some areas that I couldn't done by myself the way that they did.
The following images and videos are a few examples of the work-in-progress of doing this short-film.
