Andrew Gibbs' videos
Two lovers meet one another on a bridge. All is well until tragedy rises from the water.

This Film was made using traditional cut-out animation.
Everything is done under the camera, only some minor After Effects were added later.

This film was made in South Africa in a home studio. It took 3 months to make. We constructed a 1.2 meter high light box and mounted the camera above it.

    Andrew,
    This is fantastic animation. I really dig the color palette, and the images themselves have an almost religious, iconic quality. Looking forward to seeing your next work here on vimeo.

    It's unthinkable how much time is needed to make a really short movie. I am captivated by this history, a little bizzare and brutal but with undeniable charm. In other words: *___*.

    This was a real treat to watch. It's just the kind of surreal atmosphere i like.
