The mechanically artistic engineers of animation at Motiphe provide us with yet another playground for the clever. Here Director Rafael Mayrhofer wantonly toys with ideas, statistics, disturbingly fun facts, camera angles, tinfoil, storied layers of perception and expectation, clay, soap, scale and lighting. Nothing is really safe in this arena, but, there is one certainty. That is that the film is smart, simple, elegantly crafted and terribly engaging. Read on as Mayrhofer provides Dragonframe with an exclusive making-of vid and interview rife with some most excellent trivia that is sure to appear in Dragonframe’s new stop-mo boardgame, to be released soon.

Something worthy of falling in love with. This BAFTA Cymru nominated film is the graduation project of Joseph Wallace and DOP and co-animator Emma-Rose Dade. The sweeping piece boasts great angles, beautiful lighting, story progression and music. The correlation between the flower pot and our bodies (physical containers) on this earthly plane is particularly subtle and moving. The piece combines delicate puppet animation with Van Gogh-esque paint-on-glass, shot at 24 fps. The sets are made almost entirely from recycled cardboard. Shot at Newport Film School, it took eight months and was developed through the support of Animation Sans Frontieres, the European Animation Production Workshop. Read on to for an in depth interview with the Director and to watch the excellent making of.

Fantastic feature alert! Sinem Sakaoglu is most recently known for co-directing the gorgeous “Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams“, released in 2010 to France and Germany. She here embarks on another feature, “Kara“, which has just begun to shoot. It is another technically ambitious production and an equally poetic subject. Sinem kindly takes time out from the multiple stages to speak with Dragonframe about the film.
