Bye Bye Dandelion is a short animated film about the fleeting friendship between a small imaginary creature called Mu and a dandelion. Telling a story which highlights the nature of human relationships, attachment and death. Shot on location in Cumbria, the film combines stop motion character animation, live action backgrounds and CGI. Mu, a handmade articulated puppet, is shot on green screen and layered onto the backgrounds using After Effects. The dandelion is made in Cinema 4D and composited in the same way. These techniques work together to depict a naive, ethereal world, informed by the Cumbrian landscape and the tactile nature of traditional stop motion.
