A Video to Die For!

 
Something Left, Something Taken- Full Version from Tiny Inventions on Vimeo.

“Something Left, Something Taken” by, the husband and wife team, Tiny-Inventions is more than just a long title. As you can see above what I’m writing here, it’s actually an animated film, so watch it now. It’s okay, I don’t mind waiting…

Done? Pretty fantastic wasn’t it? I liked that one bit with that guy. Anyway, what you all should have noticed was how fantastic this was visually. A few of you may have missed it, but the film was one giant assemblage. From cardboard to puppets, the Tiny-Inventors used whatever they could get their hands on. Did anyone notice the blue jelly being used for water?

The characters are made up of various elements, “fabric, rope, clay, ping pong balls, erasers and soy milk carton. Then they were photographed and assembled in After Effects.” The characters even had real hands (well, photographs)

While the mouths were animated much the same way but were made with rope and erasers

If you simple look the background and props, you’ll notice cardboard, tinfoil, felt and any other random object. All these pieces come together to create a truly unique look and style to the piece. For more information on how this film was made, go to
