This is a short film made by the Big hART Gold crew in our first experiment with claymation. We made this film in a few hours one workshop afternoon during the drought- inspired by the theme of our project ‘Water is the New Gold’. After making each other in minature out of coloured clay, we built the cardboard set and then slowly filmed each frame, moving the characters a little bit each time.
It began as sun set over the young Big hART crew. Usually it was the bright Egg Park, tonight devoid of excited children’s screams. A projector screen glowed alone in the park’s grassy corner.
