EISKARL
Stopmotion animation | 9 min | Germany 2014
An old abandoned and icy workshop. Eiskarl tends to his scrap metal garden and waits. But the scrap cannot be brought to life. One day, Eiskarl discovers a worn perfume bottle that helps him to find a friend, but having a friend is a challenge. The scrap is still there, but the snow melts...
MANU´S NOTE
This short film was made as part of my studies at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. Our challenge was to develop a character and his world in a tight time frame and exclusively with found objects from flea markets and garbage dumps.
