Looking For Nothing In Particular,

I came across this stop motion film,


Anu-Laura Tuttelberg is an Estonian writer, director, and animator,

the stop-motion short “Winter In The Rainforest,” sets a cast of fragile, porcelain puppets within the lush rainforests of Chiapas, Mexico, and the Peruvian Amazon,

look out for the carnivorous flowers as they trap their prey,

shot with 16-millimeter film, the short was years in the making—Tuttelberg details the process on her site,

in the making of the short the animator explains:
'While moving the puppets frame by frame, I let the light and the nature in the background move naturally. In this way, the puppets are moving smoothly in their own pace and the nature around them is changing rapidly. This creates a new obscure reality of time and space in the film. It keeps the viewer aware of the stop motion technique in the film. I don’t want to hide the animation technique behind the scene but rather to bring it out and observe the new strange reality it creates'

it is a mug of coffee long, I quite enjoyed watching the film, it is just so unusual, if you like her style you can watch the animator’s previous works, on Vimeo.
