"Madame Tutli-Putli boards the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past [...]" Nominated for an Academy Award in 2008 for Best Animated Short, Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski's first professional film has been five years in the making.
On the puppets: "Lavis & Szczerbowski rejected traditional stop-motion puppet armatures and built aluminum wire skeletons by hand. It took seven months of alchemy: mixing silicon, latex and plaster to produce the hand-designed molds for the unique puppet bodies."
On the eyes: "The special visual effects were produced in collaboration with acclaimed portrait artist Jason Walker. The puppet eye effects demonstrate a first in the field of animation: a seamless, unnerving integration of human and puppet performance. This innovative process, created by Walker for the film, required meticulous precision and involved the placement of real human eyes onto individual puppets. For each scene, the puppet's animation was analyzed and corresponding human facial expressions were filmed in order to match the puppet's motion."
