Commisioned by RTE for Halloween 2022 Samhain tells the origin story of the holiday and how it became the holiday we know and love today.
For this project the director wanted to use a previously tested style that I had made with Giant Animation in the past. Lending itself to the historic shadow puppet medium. We designed everything to be seperated into layers to make these paper puppets. These were then layered as traditional puppets would be and rigged. We then lit these elements in 3D to create the cast shadows.
I created the proof of concept image at the top of the screen for selection, once the project was green lit I managed a small team while producing artwork, setting up the workflow and seeing it all the way to post.
