"I think it's Santa Claus!"

I felt like sharing a silly little video I made with my friend Micka, well over a year ago. It's certainly rough around the edges, but we had great fun crafting all the characters, props and sets entirely from recycled products, voicing the characters and messing around with stop motion technology. This "fun" doesn't include me burning myself four times with the hot glue gun, of course!

We created it to promote SCARF, a local company that collects arts and crafts resources and resells them to the community at low prices, serving to aid both recycling and the bank accounts of the good people of the Black Country in these difficult times. Unfortunately, something went wrong in the export and little pink squares start appearing on screen near the end (not sure what the term for this is, my technical vocab is a little underdeveloped!).

It tells the story of an author struggling to find inspiration for his new novel, until he accidently discovers SCARF's website. That night, he finds himself dreaming about a strange place called Scarfworld, where everything is recycled - even the sun! His adventures in this dream world, not to mention it's resident creatures, Duvysnuvy and Snuvyduvy, provide him with the inspiration he was searching for.

Enjoy!
