Dimensions Collide in “The Full Story”

Created by filmmaker Daisy Jacobs and animator Chris Wilder, dimensions collide in this multi-award winning short film titled “The Full Story”, as “painted animation on walls, combined with sculpture components like moveable papier maché limbs, and regular ‘real world’ objects”, and human actors, merge and interact with each other to create this fantastic world. But how did they do this?

In order to merge the real and imagined, Jacobs and Wilder explain that they made the sets more realistic and the actors more ‘painterly’ to find a stylistic middle ground. “To make the sets more realistic we emphasized textures and brought out shine with lighting and varnish. With the real people we did the opposite–painting their clothes, minimizing shadows on their faces with make-up and making them more graphic with wigs.”
