HARRY AND MABEL: A LOVE STORY, 4min,. Ireland
Directed by Adam Kemp
Using a recorded conversation and combining 2D animation with stop motion, this film tells a simple, yet engaging story of Mabel and Harry Caroll recalling their younger days in Dublin.
Get to know the filmmaker:
The project was influenced by Aardman animations (Wallace & Gromit), particularly some of their earlier films where they use recorded, unscripted conversations. I thought it was very mesmerising to hear real life stories told and visualized through animation. So I decided to have a go it myself and asked my grandparents if they would like to be in this film. I think they enjoyed reminiscing.
