Guardian is a short stop motion film following Klaus the choir boy as he travels through the cathedral graveyard after his choir practice to go home. Little does he know that he is being followed by a collector of a very sinister kind. For this film I was the producer and model maker for the puppet Klaus.

The librarian is a short stop motion film following the librarian as he goes about his daily business in his library. When a particular book catches his attention he reads it with interest but falls asleep due to his old age but the book hasn’t quite finished telling its story yet. Perhaps the librarian has spent to much time doing his job as him and the library seem to be becoming as one. I worked on this film myself, writing making and animating the story and characters. Music and sound by Joe Iles.
