Working on BIG SHRIMP

Now there's two giant shrimp

Here's the trailer for my animation graduation film Gullermo! Gullermo is an autobio love letter to the titular seagull who has kept me company over the lonely years of chronic illness.

A mixed media solo project involving claymation, sticky notes, oil pastels, collage, photocopied video animation and animation of found materials (dried leaves, flowers, plants, texts) all shot under a multiplane camera setup.

The opening quote is from John Berger's essay "Why Look At Animals?", 1980. Sound design by Ruadhan Doyle, Oliver Bentley and Aaron Scott. Everything else by yours truly Donnacha Clarke, with a lot of help from Eimhin McNamara and the team at IADT animation. Thank you to everyone who has helped me through my long IADT journey, especially Gullermo <3

Video description: an announcement that I'm working on a short mixed media stop motion animation about Gullermo, the lesser black backed gull who has visited my balcony yearly while I was housebound with chronic illness. I show a very short claymation scene of Gullermo clicking his beak and shuffling in front of a cotton cloud sky, and a time lapse of me making it on a multiplane animation camera. I continue to show different concept sketches and an animation of red leaves pulsing like a heart, and finish with a video of the real Gullermo honking on my balcony while I chuckle behind the camera.
