Experiencing Interruptions?

CAVITY

What plays on TV after dark? Saturated colors and X-ray imagery swirl and bounce through wide eyed and frantic characters in a play of animation techniques, video overlays and stylized trippy imagery. An original experimental animation created by Spencer Nicklaus, utilizing both stop motion and digital techniques to create mesmerizing sequences.

Director Statement

"My goal with 'CAVITY' was to create a dynamic, trippy animation inspired by the TV shows and commercials I saw late at night as a kid. I sought to capture that feeling of sitting on the cold living room floor watching animated characters bounce around on screen with my own experimental twist." - Spencer Nicklaus
