As part of our boundary-pushing animated shorts programme, director Ben Steer took a truly unique approach to produce the film, projecting animated characters onto 3D sets crafted from polystyrene blocks. Normal post-production has been completely bypassed; there’s no rendering, no CG precision, and imperfections with the lighting give the characters a ghostly quality, reminiscent of shadow puppets. This short film documents the process of how the film was made.
