Tin people, tin lives, tin lies — suburbia's never looked so mechanically depressing.
A stop-motion animated short taking a light-hearted look at the grind of daily routine. Its main characters are a husband and wife who are leading a seemingly ideal suburban life. But is everything really as perfect as it seems? The animators used mechanized tin figurines set in brightly colored, saturated tin surroundings emulating quaint suburbia. The characters are attached to the ground and move in predetermined courses (grooves and tracks set in the ground), expressing the repetition of their lives.
Practical Effects
Mechanized tin figurines literally trapped in their tracks — the metaphor MOVES.
Production
Saturated tin suburbia that screams 'we're happy' in desperate primary colors.
