THIS SHORT FILM REVEALS THE TURBULENT LOVE LIFE OF THE RARE WATTLE WEASEL.

​

THE FILM WAS MADE USING A SINGLE PUPPET, SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES, WITH INTERCHANGEABLE WATTLES, BEAKS AND LEGS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ALLOWED FOR DIFFERENT MOVEMENTS AND EXPRESSIONS. FOOTAGE WAS SPED UP AND I MADE FREQUENT CUTS TO DISGUISE WHEN THE PUPPET ELEMENTS WERE SWITCHED. 

​

ONCE THE LIVE ACTION PUPPET SEQUENCES HAD BEEN COMPLETED, I MOTION TRACKED THE FOOTAGE AND ADDED EXPRESSIVE CG EYES.
