Stems

Scottish animator Ainslie Henderson (Moving On) thinks out loud about how puppet making begins and how transforming and combining different everyday objects and stuff makes them get new life. All this, while doing it and creating a small music band of misfits, strange and quirky characters. An all this, being aware that their lives are short ones, because they depend on the animator, their creator, to get life.

The BAFTA winning short is a poignant reflection of Henderson, on creating the illusion of life, in a calm and peacefull way.
