About the Film

A love poem mash-up of hypotheticals and superlatives, brought to life through a mixture of hand-drawn and stop frame animation.

Tamzin Forster is a freelance, visual artist who works with text, animation, illustration and photography. Often her work looks at language and communication, and the banal, everyday things that we overlook on a daily basis. Some of her video work has travelled more than she has, though she thought it was about time she did something new. She chose Julian’s poem for it’s quirkiness and simplicity. She wanted to create an animation which mirrored this, using various different animation techniques, of sand, 2D cut-out, 2D drawn, 3D cut out and 3D stop frame animation.
