Scala!!! Tentacles
2023 · 2m · Animation
Tentacles is a 90 second animated short that brings a magic mushroom trip by a staff member at the Scala vividly to life. Inspired by classic Sci-Fi, Horror and B-movies, Tentacles is crafted in-camera using real Octopus tentacles, objects and cut-out photographs in stop-motion. The film is an experimental and playful attempt to explore how animation, particularly mixed media animation can be used to communicate narratives in unexpected and exciting ways that enhance the original story.
