In the 1950s, the Kavaros circus is in financial distress. After an accident in the ring, 17-year-old acrobat Juul falls into a coma and the doctor pronounces her brain-dead. Her father Bor, a magician, can’t bear to be without his daughter, and spirits her away from the hospital. Then, when he shows her off as a living puppet, audiences begin to turn to the circus.
In silent protest at the indignity of this, and at the loss of her free will, Juul slowly turns to porcelain.
What we did:
ANIMATION (64 minutes) of the feature film using Maya.
This feature film has a very distinctive animation style, simulating hyper-realistic stop motion. To achieve the required level of quality, we have assembled a team of animators from triple-A feature films, capable of handling the project’s demanding artistic and stylistic approach with precision and sensitivity.
We are in charge of the ANIMATION DIRECTION and CHARACTER RIGGING CHECK of the film, with Daniel Abalo communicating directly with Tom Van Gestel, the film’s director, and overseeing all animation with the support of our senior supervisors with the director, Tom Van Gestel, and leading all animation with the support of our senior supervisors.
