MADAME TUTLI-PUTLI (Animating Madame Tutli-Putli)

http://www.nfb.ca/webextension/madame-tutli-putli/

Madame Tutli-Putli boards the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past.

She travels alone, facing both the kindness and menace of strangers. As day descends into dark, she finds herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure. Adrift between real and imagined worlds, Madame Tutli-Putli confronts her demons and is drawn into an undertow of mystery and suspense.

The National Film Board of Canada presents a stunning, stop-motion animated film that takes the viewer on an exhilarating existential journey. The film introduces groundbreaking visual techniques and is supported by a haunting and original score. Painstaking care and craftsmanship in form and detail bring to life a fully imagined, tactile world unlike any you have seen.

Jungian thriller? Hitchcockian suspense? Artistic tour de force? The night train awaits you.

[NastyJeans]

Amazing. This is the artwork that the world needs. Beautiful, basic, but with so much sweat and toil and time invested.

[lilsuwatch]

bravo.

This film was astoundingly well done, and the guys put in a ridiculous amount of work. Obviously they hand crafted their own puppets from scratch, but on the off chance that anyone who reads this is a stop motion junkie, do you possibly know where to find puppets of similar build?

[afthefragile]

Yeah but you've also gotta take note that Tim Burton works with a much larger budget and has a much larger crew working on the set. Also nowdays a lot of it is CGI generated... Its only the small independent film makers who can't afford the big sets and CGI guys who film stop motion animation in the traditional ways.

Even south park uses computer animation to film its episodes.
