Lost & Found | Oscar Shortlisted Stop-Motion Animation | Short of the Week

Lost & Found is a stop motion short film that tugs at the heartstrings. A knitted toy dinosaur must completely unravel itself to save the love of its life. SUBMIT A FILM: FULL REVIEW: “This wedding of raw craft and storytelling is quite mature here. Generously funded by Screen Australia, we’re used to stop-motion being a contained craft, executed with models in small spaces, but this film is on a different scale entirely. The character animation is incorporated into a life-size sushi restaurant set that was built from scratch, and this decision pays off in the impressive camera direction that results—the production is able to go wide and really play with perspective and depth of field in a way that is rare for the form.“ - Curator Jason Sondhi 7mins / Australia / 2018 Behind the scenes: DIRECTED BY Andrew Goldsmith & Bradley Slabe PRODUCED BY Lucy J.
