unusual sighting - A stop Motion Short Film - YouTube

An old artist who lives alone in a claustrophobic and messy house in a city is unable to find inspiration to create art. As he struggles to paint, a flamingo sits on his window. This experience of seeing the flamingo gives him to inspiration to paint again.

The film is inspired by an event in 2019, where a flock of flamingos flew through the city of Mumbai, giving the residents an unusual sight as flamingos live in high altitude and cold places. We thought of how this sight might affect a person's life.

the characters were inspired from the film "The Zoo" by Bert Haanstra. We chose the Flamingo and the old artist as they depicted contrasting qualities.
