Director Nina Gantz and the Blinkink crew team with acclaimed puppeteer Josie Corben (Isle of Dogs) on this dreamlike stop-motion fantasy to launch a new range of fashion and accessories from Spanish luxury brand LOEWE.
Nina Gantz: “The Brief from LOEWE was to create a film that brings the world of British Arts and Craft ceramicist William De Morgan to life. It was an amazing world to dive into!
Watch the making-of:
“A team of over 60 people worked on the spot, while the variety of sets – including a forest, valley, flower bush, and skeleton cave – were made with fabric, cut and sewn by hand.
“Throughout, the action is accompanied by choral music composed for the campaign by Terence Dunn and recorded with The Brighton festival chorus, consisting of 120 singers.”
