Private Project

Jabberwocky

Human-haired abominations are infinitely churned out from their own stomachs by an internal engine built of broken computer parts.

Stop motion and photography were the foundations to all the assets you see here in this project. I clumped and jostled shaved-off hair from my partner's head to make the Jabberwocky's fur. The "stomach" section of the film is distorted and rotoscoped videos of my lips and fingers pulsating. Then for the machine, I spun computer parts and analog equipment that were suspended on strong pieces of packaging tape. And finally- the creature's face in the introduction is also my own but stretched and elongated.
