Taller Than Trees

This short film looks at the story of an outrageously tall giraffe. She has trouble fitting into daily life until eventually she manages to find a more suitable home. The animation has been created using a 2D 'real-time cut out' technique. I wanted to try and create a three dimensional world in which two dimensional characters could live and interact. Each character is created out of paper and all models are made from cardboard.

Posters created by William Goldsmith. Soundtrack writen by Jonny Smith and recorded live by Norman Blake.
