The Walrus and the Carpenter

16mm film loop, 1 minute, 1997 (additional image 1)

This was a short, silent film that I made for Michele Sereda of Curtain Razors theatre company to be projected in the middle of a children's stage play of Alice in Wonderland. The walrus and the carpenter were animated using a cut out style. The blue walrus was designed by Margaret Bessai. The carpenter was designed by me using photographic elements of Maurice Fortier, Michele Sereda's carpenter husband. There were a total of four public performances in 1997 and the images were re-animated digitally for use in a performance by Michele during the 2008 Ice and Fire Festival, also in Regina (see below).
