About this user
We are a duo of animators and filmmakers, with commissioned work in Music Video and Animated Comedy. Our main thrust is a technique of photo-animation using multiple still shots and articulated limbs to create a moving picture. This allows us to create grandiose, outlandish videos on a micro budget.
We are from Lagos and Paris, and met at Balliol College, Oxford. We have degrees in English Literature and Physiology. We bring all of our art and science to bear on the fabrication of moving pictures.
