My film is a short experimental mixed-media animation which involves a range of techniques including embroidery animation, digital animation, and traditional animation on paper. The film is inspired by many walks in the woods and seeing all of the small mushrooms pop through the ground. Upon researching more into fungi, I discovered how interesting and intelligent they are as an organism, which also then inspired me to make a film about them. The experimentation of using different mediums within my work and how they can show interesting textures that cannot be produced digitally was very enjoyable. The process of making this film was quite laborious, however, the outcome made it entirely worth it. Contains flashing images.
