My favourite short of the year. Simply wonderful concept and execution. The minimalist Paddington-esque paper sets worked beautifully with the claymation puppets. And as a Hammer aficionado it had me smiling and chuckling throughout. When the first shot of the night scene fades in there is a slightly odd transition where it looks like a cut-out area fades in at a different pace to the rest of the image, but it’s a very minor quibble. Please make more like this! I recommend constructing a time machine so you can travel back to 1974 and persuade your dad to write an entire feature.

Beautiful little stop motion film, please make more like this! The minimalist background is a great aesthetic touch to focus the viewer's gaze on the puppets and the range of movement is displayed very effectively by having the characters dance.

You absolutely nailed the challenge of adapting such a stylised aesthetic. Not an easy thing! I love your little touches like the painted clay texture on the bones that makes them look like decorations, it's these details that really make it special. Would gladly go to the cinema to watch a feature film adaptation of the game if it looked like this.
