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.
