Description:
“Round” combines the artistry of a single-hand shadow artist with animation to create the illusion of a simultaneous performance by many hand-shadow artists.
With this film, we managed to increase the narrative and character potential of traditional hand shadows. By combining multiple performances, animation and composite characters, we painted grander landscapes and more articulate characters than have previously been accomplished, while still retaining the charm of the medium.
