Animation
Below are films we have made in 48 hours for competition that are emblematic of a comedy style of animation we have been pioneering called 'Jankmations'. These should be viewed separate from our work in documentary corporate, branded content, short form narrative work and features, and to be honest are a bit of fun!
'We Brie-long Together' (2021)
English - Stop Motion
Written, directed and animated by Joshua Belinfante
Belle and cheddar aren’t regular bries or cheddar cheese That you’d find in the supermarket as you please. They are sassy, yellow and the best of friends, They even share videos with each other on weekends. Yet, today is a different day, as Cheddar makes an assumption, And Belle overreacts amidst the risk of public consumption. A cautionary tale for cheeses of all shapes and curds, That there can be both love and hate from our words.
