Behind the scenes

Since the film is completely made by hand, the design process from beginning to end might even be more captivating than the film itself.

From crafting the puppets to building the sets, the craftsmanship and dedication is documented in snappy behind-the-scenes video and pics.

Puppet love

Curious how we got from the first sketch to the final puppet? Here's a sneak peek at the love and craft that went into these awesome creations!

Set design

What's the one thing a depressing office can't live without? Of course, a messy, dirty coffee table.

We found a real, small sized functioning coffee machine. It was a perfect fit. We added some carefully placed coffee stains for that authentic, lived-in feel. ⁠
To bring the scene to life even more, we added stacks of tiny cups on a serving tray, a poster, a waste bin, and some chairs folded in the corner.

Post production

On set, we brought our puppets to life with our own hands, literally. Of course, that meant we had to edit ourselves out in post. But the real magic came when we animated the pupils. It gave us complete control over every glance and gaze. That’s how we added real emotion and depth to our story.

Watch it again

Knowing the behind-the-scenes magic makes the film even more fun to watch, so why not dive in one more time? You might just spot a hidden gem you missed the first time around!

Let's go!
