The amount of work is huge, there is a behind the scenes video where you see that they hand carved the figurines https://youtu.be/VHO6rTyyG6M

In an era of AI everything this is fantastic 🙂

Btw they have a Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/masakawa/hidari-making-a-feature-length-stop-motion-samurai-film

Not to mention the story is set in the Edo period of Japan and the wood that they used for the puppets and set were made from the wood of a warehouse from the Edo period.

For anyone looking to pitch a feature animation project, create the whole film using rough sketches / stills, usually taken from the storyboard. Add your placeholder sound, music, voiceovers etc.

  1. If people are engaged by the above, you’re on to a winner and more likely to get the desired funding.

  2. if the story still needs work, or has pacing issues, you can fix all of that before committing to the animation.
