FINFO WARS (2024)
FINFO WARS is a satirical look at the modern climate of right-wing pundits and conspiracy theorists who aim to create harmful false divisions for their own ends.
The film was created as part of my MA in Animation at the University of the West of England and comprises of puppetry, stop-motion and 2D cutout animation to create a chaotic visual feast of factually questionable(?) content!

Character designs for the shark, testing out silhouettes, shapes and facial expressions.
Foamy Bubbles: not to be trusted!(??)
Design sketches for Foamy Bubbles.
Process shots of the making of the shark and dolphin puppets. They were each sculpted in clay, then cast in jesmonite and built up in layers of silicone to create flexible but durable hand puppets. The eyes were made from clay and plasticine, and for Foamy's lil bow tie: felt.
All four puppets, including tiny prawn(!) to scale alongside the shark.
Making-of some of the props and set pieces.
