Experiencing Interruptions?

ZZZ

There are all sorts of ways to wake up a mummy to go to school. Which method do you think is the best? Understanding what motivates the other person is likely the most convincing.
Shown on Times Square billboards at 41st St and Broadway on December 15th, 2021, this animated short film is made of shadow puppets in 12 fps stop-motion. I cut black and white paper, pinned joints together, and put them on a lightbox. Then, I took a photo, moved the puppets a bit, took a photo, moved them a bit... Every second is 12 photos. Finally, I combined sound effects and my voice acting with the visuals.
