Synopsis
This story is set on a very hot day and is all about
Conehead and a runaway ice-cream van.
Background
From conception to finish, Conehead took about 15
weeks as a part of a final MA project. The main idea
was to get a very staged look to the environment with
different layers and a lot of things moving at once,
and to create depth and texturing with different shapes.
I was aiming for an almost toy box feel to it. Influences
for this piece include, Studio AKA, Aardman Animation,
Partizan Midi Minuit, and Georges Méliès’
‘A Trip to the Moon’.
