Daisy Jacobs: The Bigger Picture
Shortlist / Next Director / Animation / 2016
Film Description
Animation comes off the page into full-size film sets – where life-size painted characters explode twenty feet up a wall and burst out of the conventional 'frame', and where characters are created not with small movements of a pencil but by sweeping, physically-demanding movements of the animators' whole body as they create something that is much larger than themselves.
