Lost & Found

A clumsy crochet dinosaur must unravel itself to save the love of its life.

7 mins / Australia / 2018. A stop motion short film that tugs at the heartstrings.

A handmade love story told with yarn, miniature sets, meticulous animation and one heroic act of self-sacrifice. This static version keeps the original Squarespace site's shape while making the codebase lightweight enough to host almost anywhere.
