Tourniquet by Hem

Role: Director, Designer, and Animator
2013

Using hand made puppets created with watercolor and gouache, we made this video by animating the characters against a green screen and compositing them in After Effects. The video follows a fox who leaves the wild for a bustling city and gradually takes on more human-like traits. After a debaucherous night, he meets his fox soul mate and returns back to the wild.
