'The Sun, following a traumatic experience, discovers there's more to life than work '

Sun Day is a film I have chipped away at gradually over the last year and a half, and I'm happy to finally release it, in all of its ugly glory. Tell me if you liked it.

The film features stop motion, rotoscoping, photo collage, digital 2D and charcoal animation, all superimposed with live action footage. I did all of the animation across around a year, and used dragonframe, blender, aftereffects, davinci resolve, the tiktok editing window, premiere pro and audacity. All of the music was made by me using a guitar, mandolin, tin whistle and some sticks I found in a park (minus the opening song, 'I' by Patricia Taxxon, which is royalty free). The whole film was shot on an old canon dslr I bought second hand for maybe £200, so lets call that my budget. The masks were paper mache using mostly materials set to be recycled anyway, and painted with acrylics. I shaved my head for this film.

I'm proud to have produced this largely with a team of two, goes to show how much you can make when you dedicate yourself to something.
