Día de los muertos
Cinematography
Dia de los Muertos is a film that captures the beauty, mystery and sacredness of the ancient Meso-American holiday that honors and remembers those who have died. Combining stop-motion animation and sets with computer generated characters, backgrounds and effects creates a richly layered world that blurs the boundaries separating the living from the dead. Dynamic camera angles and lively music enhance the subtle, stylized performances of the living characters and the frenzied action of the spirits.

Wire We Here
The Animator
A comic parody of our modern search for our creator. Two characters, made completely out of pipe cleaners and totally unaware that they are being controlled by outside forces, gradually begin to realise that there might be more to their existence than the cardboard world they inhabit. Should they cross the edge of the set and risk losing very thing they have known and loved, simply to find out "who did all this?".
