This puppet has HUMAN EYES!

Have you seen this short film before?

Friend of the channel, Alec Gillis @studioADI , shared this innovative short film from 2008 with the Corridor Crew.

Madame Tutli-Putli is a 17-minute stop-motion film written and directed by Clyde Henry Productions and produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

What sets it apart is the innovative use of composited eyes on stop-motion puppets. Shoutout to VFX artist Jason Walker, who was behind the compositing work that brought the puppets to life!

It took four years of intense work to produce, and it went on to win Best Short Film at Cannes in 2008 and earn an Oscar nomination for Animated Short Film that same year.

If you haven’t seen it, it’s available on YouTube. @nfb https://youtu.be/KcdzdHoDvkg?si=st36PoETeYK32WIK
