Preproduction

A world of paper

The paper conveys the fragility of a world that can easily be destroyed and the water colors give each frame a delicate appearance. A paper forest where we made 200 miniature pine trees, a bunch of trees through which animals run, animals that seem to be made with origami and an almost life-size paper hoopoe, which allows a lot of movements. We built a big trunk with a nest where the hoopoe hatches its eggs, mountains, forest floors, a leaf that will be animated as if it were blown by the wind and a beautiful moon.

Production

Frame to frame animating

The project has been animated with the stop motion technique. We were looking for a realistic animation and camera movements in travelling and handheld camera. The animals have been animated in chroma key and then inserted into the scene with postproduction.

Project Description

Abubilla is a music video of Ajayu Dúo’s song made in stop motion animation with everything built with paper and colored with watercolor.

Abubilla is a bird that lives happily in the Maravilla forest with all the animals. But one day the hand of man endangers his environment and he talks to the moon so that together they can sow life into his world.
