PLAYING GOD || The Making Of

After more than a year of traveling around the world through Film Festivals, we’d like to open a small window into how the short film #playinggod was made. 7 years in the making for 9 minutes of #stopmotion animation, one of the biggest and most meaningful challenges in the history of our independent animation studio.
With this project, we wanted to push beyond our limits, experimenting with the stop-motion medium without compromises, blending art, technique, and passion into a single vision. In this #backstage , we’ll reveal our secrets and how we built this film and the challenges we faced to bring it to life.

❤️A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the incredible Artists and fellow dreamers who worked on this project and don’t appear in this format.
Their dedication and talent were essential in bringing this film to life and one day, we’ll tell the full story :)
